Domain Names, Mmmm...

If this sounds Greek to you, don't worry, it is really very simple.

Simply put, A domain name is the physical address of your website on the internet.

As it is nowadays possible to find the exact location of a physical address of your relatives and friends by typing their home address into a GPS device, it is also possible to locate the exact location of any website by typing its domain name into the address window of any internet browser.

A domain name would typically look as follows: www.hostpnut.co.za

To ensure that no-one else can store their websites under the same domain name, governing bodies (such as ICANN) was created to ensure that all domain names are properly registered and that domain registration companies are fully compliant to do so.

The .co.za domain registrar may be found at http://co.za/ where you can register any available .co.za domain for R50 per year (at the time of this writing)
