A domain is your website’s unique address on the internet — the name people type into their browser to visit your site, such as www.yourbusiness.com.

Every domain is made up of two parts:

  • The name (e.g., yourbusiness)
  • The extension (e.g., .com, .net, .co)

Together, these create a web address that’s easy to remember and share.

Example: Think of your domain as your street address. It’s how people find your house (website) in the massive “city” that is the internet.

Why are domains important?

Your domain is the foundation of your online presence. It:

  • Builds credibility and trust with visitors.
  • Makes your website easier to find and remember.
  • Strengthens your brand identity across platforms.
  • Can help with SEO, especially when it matches your business name or niche.

A professional domain name tells the world that your website is official and that you’re serious about your online business.
