What
is a domain name ? |
|
A
domain name is an alias of an IP number, since
IP numbers are hard to remember like 64.14.249.162,
it is easy to remember by name. When you register
a domain name you have a web address on world
wide web, if you register mycompanyname.com then you will have an address like www.mycompanyname.com |

How
do I select my domain name ? |
|
After
our executives contact you they will offer you
an all-inclusive package, so you don't have
to worry about anything everything will be done
by us, but in case you just want to register
your domain name or you are contacting
us online then, you should select a domain name
that best suits your business i.e a name
which is easy to remember and which your
clients can identify with.
The
Ideal Choice would be www.mycompanyname.com but in case it is already registered then
you should try for domain name such as www.my-company.com, or www.mycompanycity.com
or something else that suits
you best.
Example: Our domain name is www.antasoft.com,
But for Hotel Landmark we could not find
a free domain so we registered www.hotellandmarkgwalior.com,
so still hotel landmark can be identified. |
