As I mentioned in an earlier post, a domain name is a unique address to your website like www.yahoo.com, www.unicef.org etc.

To ensure that each domain name is unique, a database (Domain Name Server) is maintained by ICANN (International corporation for assigned names and numbers). It is better to buy domains from an ICANN accredited domain registrar.

You can buy a domain name from a website like godaddy.com, register.com, domains.org. Domain names are available for as low as $2 (well, that’s the lowest, i came accross). You can expect somewhere less than $10.

For detailed information regarding domain names, you can visit the website of American Association of Domain Names.
