WHAT IS A DOMAIN NAME                                                                    
A domain name is a registered identification that provides routing to an numeric
Internet address (location). Computers use a grouping of numbers (example:
198.77.115.8) to access an Internet address (numeric location).

A problem with using numeric addresses is that people are not good at
remembering numbers. To bridge the gap between humans and computers,
domain registration was instituted to allow people to register a domain name with
a central computer that serves as a domain name host. So when a person enters
a registered domain name (example: www.eznetsystems.com) in their browser and
presses enter, the browser goes to the domain name host (the central computer),
which directs the browser to the website address.

WHY REGISTER A DOMAIN NAME                                                       
Once a domain name is registered and bound to a website, visitors on the
Internet can type the domain name into the Address field of their browser
(instead of the numeric address) to gain access to that website. If you have a
memorable domain name you have an advantage of consumer "top of the
head" recognition. Many of The Best Domain Names Are Already Gone.
Register a "good" domain name before someone else does. The domain
name is essentially your Internet Trademark. Provide an easy to recognize
name that gives you the edge.
