DOMAIN NAMES FAQ'S

What is a domain name?
Practically speaking, your domain name (Web address) is the core of your Internet identity, your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and use it to find your Web site, your products or your services. And since no two parties can ever hold the same domain name (Web address) simultaneously, your Internet identity is totally unique.

Technically, a domain name (Web address) is an addressing construct used for identifying andlocating computers on the Internet. While computers use Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate each other on the Internet, people find them hard to remember. Therefore, domain names ( Web addresses) were developed to permit the use of easily remembered words and phrases to identify Internet addresses.

For example, the domain name (Web address) kiwidesigns.co.nz represents KiwiDesigns site.
When you type kiwidesigns.co.nz into a Web browser or send e-mail to someone at kiwidesigns.co.nz, the Domain Name System (DNS) translates kiwidesigns.co.nz into the IP numbers used by the Internet and connects you to KiwiDesigns.
