What is a domain name?

• A domain name is an alias used on the World Wide Web which constitutes your website address eg. www.mywebsite.co.uk and domain names have different endings such as .co.uk .com .org .tv .info .biz .shop .me.uk. Some endings are used to denote particular types of organisation, for instance .ac.uk is used to indicate that the site belongs to an academic establishment. If you have a UK company you are likely to want to use either a co.uk website address or .com for a global presence.
