What is a domain?

A domain name might seem simple, but it’s not that easy of a thing, especially if you’re just getting started online. Domain names exist to make the websites more accessible to you and your visitors. 


Put simply, a domain name is an address that you’ll type in the address bar to access a website. For example, the domain name for this website is thebluesurge.com, while the domain name for Google is google.com.


Domain names are a critical part of your online brand and should be memorable to your visitors. 


To have a website that’s accessible by regular web users, you need a domain name and a host. When a visitor types in your domain name into their address bar, the web browser will communicate with the host that the domain points towards and will serve the visitor the associated website.


If that sounds a little complex, let’s look at this example:


Think of your domain name as your cell phone number. When someone wants to reach you, they dial your number, and you hear it ring on your physical phone. In this scenario, your phone number is the domain, and your cell phone is your website.


Blue Surge Marketing Agency offers basic domain name registration services to ensure your website is branded professionally.
