A "Domain Name" is how your customers will find you on the World Wide Web - it is your website address. Just like the sign and address above your front door, it lets your customers know where to look for you.

Select a Domain Name that is easy for your customers to remember. It might refer to the name of your business, or relate in some way to the business that you do. Make sure that you select a domain name that is not used or trademarked by another company. This will help protect your business from the time and expense to change the domain later.

Domain names can be up to 62 characters long and can contain letters, numbers and dashes. You can choose from several top-level domains (the part after the "dot") including:

• .COM - Typically denotes a commercial enterprise
• .NET - Usually reserved for businesses engaged in Internet infrastructure, like an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Web services company
• .ORG - Used primarily for non-profit organizations

More top-level domains are on the way, so you will have more selection in creating the right domain name for your business.
Once you've chosen your Domain Name, you must register it with an accredited Internet Corporation for Assigned Names (ICANN) registrar. It is always a good idea to have a back-up name, just in case the one you picked is already taken.
