What is a domain name?

Your domain name is your address on the internet. It is also a vital part of building your brand.

For years, the widely used rule was to have a short, easy to remember domain name, while still being able to describe your business accurately.

Also, the Dotcom (.com) extension was mostly used - such as amazon.com, google.com, etc.

However, the current problem with Dotcom domains is that the list of viable domains that are available has become limited. Finding a .com domain for your business is becoming difficult.

As alternative, you could either register a two-word domain or choose a different extension, such as .net, .org or an extension based on the country where your business is running.

At HostMate.net, we make the entire process of purchasing and renewing your domain names quick and hassle-free. Use our domain search tool to check if your ideal name is available.
