A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) defines the string used to send documents (images, HTML pages, audio, etc.) on the Internet.
It is the address of a website.
A domain name is unique, it consists of a prefix (the name of company or brand for example) and an extension.
Prefix of URL
The prefix takes the name of company, brand or sign. The name must be available and purchased.
Extension of URL
There are two types of extensions:
=> Geographic extensions identify the country of site origin: ".us" for identifying an american site, ".eu" for the European site, etc.
=> Generic extensions qualify the site activity: ".com" for commercial site (and international), ".net" for an activity related to the Internet, ".biz" for business, etc.
Availability of the domain name
Each extension is managed by a register, for example, for the extension ".com", visit the choosed domain name site (HostGator for exemple) to post your domain name and protect it by a register so the extension is enabled in the hour following its registration. The naming domain duration is depending of the choice, renewable tacitly.
