DOMAIN NAMES
GENERAL INFORMATION
What are domains?
We provide domain registration services as part of our hosting solutions. Domain names serve as the addresses people type in to find websites on the internet. They form the foundation of your online presence.
Domain name structure
A domain name has several parts:
- Top-Level Domain (TLD) – The part after the last dot (.com, .org, .is)
- Second-Level Domain – The main part of your address (example.com)
- Subdomains – Optional prefixes (blog.example.com)
Sea Milkwort (Glaux maritima)
The sea milkwort resembles a succulent with its thick oval leaves. The leaves cradle the pink-speckled flowers that are often covered in sand as its’ habitat is mainly beaches and other sandy areas. It decorates the boundary between ocean and land.

What domain names actually do
Domain names work like this:
- They translate complex IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1) into memorable names
- They point visitors to specific servers where websites are stored
- They help establish your online identity
European golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria)
The golden plover is known as the harbinger of spring. Its gold-speckled plumage and striking black features have been an inspiration to poets and writers through the years. Each year it brings its haunting call to the moor, signaling the end of the cold winter months, bringing the hope of the rising sun.
