About Domain
Names
The domain name is the part of the website address, or Uniform Resource Locator
(URL), that follows “www.”. For example, "tech-docs". Your
ideal domain name must be short, easy to remember and describes
your business.
Choosing a Domain Type
The domain name type is the final part of the domain name. For example, "com". The type of domain name you choose tells your visitors
more about your website. The extension can identify the
country, or the type of business.
Most
extensions are .com. However, it may be more advantageous
to identify your company
as Irish with a .ie extension.
