	What is a domain name?

Solution This is a unique name that identifies an internet site. Domain names always have two or more parts separated by dots. The part on the left is the most specific and the part on the right is the most general. So, if you wanted the xyz school of motoring you might require a domain name like xyzschoolofmotoring.co.uk or you could abbreviate this to xyzsom.co.uk This will direct anybody searching for your business to your site. You can then be a little more specific by placing you@xyzsom.co.uk or fred@xyz.co.uk or bookings@xyzsom.co.uk and so on. This would direct the person to exactly where they want to go.

If you look at the liveried vehicles on the roads nearly all have some form of website address whether it be .co.uk, .com, .org and so on.

Many companies place www in front of their domain name but this isnâ€™t really necessary today. The latest technology enables you to type in diamondon-line.co.uk without the www and you will still get to us and this will be the same with your site to â€“ and its all in the fixed annual price of Â£97 including VAT.
