What is a Domain name?
A Domain name is the essence of your company's online
identity. It is the address your customers use to find
information about your products and services on the web.
It is your permanent address that can follow you no matter
where in the world you might move. This is a very powerful
tool for individuals as well as businesses.
Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such
as www.Creativewebsols.com, to identify a numeric Internet
Protocol (IP) address such as 202.71.129.42. The purpose
of Domain name is to allow users connected to the Internet
the ability to find web sites without having to memorize
the long, numerical (IP) addresses that actually locate
the computers or servers on the Internet.

Why do I need a Domain Name?
There are numerous uses for Domain names
1. Domain names can be used to establish a unique identity
in cyberspace.
Companies often choose a Domain name that corresponds
to their company name. For instance, Creative web solution's
web site is at creativewebsols.com
and Yahoo is at www.yahoo.com
Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the Internet
should register a Domain name. You don't have to utilize
it right away.
2. Domain names can be used to give you a unique, permanent
email address
Many companies will set you up with email forwarding,
where messages sent to @yourDomain.com will be redirected
to your existing mailbox as provided by your ISP. This
lets you choose a truly unique email address and keep
the same email address regardless of which ISP you use
to access the Internet.
3. To maximize the chances of a successful Internet presence
and have a global reach

What are the valid characters for a
domain name and how long can a domain name be?
The domain name must conform to Standard rules for domain
names:
*Only characters in the range of A to Z, 0 to 9 and hyphen
are allowed for example www.test-123.com
*Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen for example www.-test123
is not acceptable.
*You can use UPPERCASE or lowercase letters when registering
a Domain name, but you may occasionally run into problems
if you mix cASes, depending on the exact configuration
of the web server that will be hosting your website.
The easiest way to make sure your Domain name will not
cause you any problems later is to register it using all
lowercase letters
* A Domain name can contain up to 67 characters.
Some top Domains from specific countries have additional
limitations on length and on the number of characters
in a Domain. Some even specifies a minimum length for
a Domain name, such as 3 characters or more.
