A domain name is the human-readable address of a website that maps to an IP address through DNS (Domain Name System). It consists of a second-level domain (SLD) and a top-level domain (TLD) — for example, in 'magicdom.ai', 'magicdom' is the SLD and '.ai' is the TLD. Domain names are essential for branding, online identity, and accessibility. They are registered through domain registrars and must be renewed periodically.
FAQ
What makes a good domain name?
A good domain name is short, memorable, easy to spell and pronounce, brandable, and ideally includes keywords relevant to your business. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and obscure TLDs that users won't trust.
How much does a domain name cost?
Standard .com domains typically cost $10-$15/year. Premium or short domains can cost hundreds to millions of dollars. Newer TLDs like .io or .ai may range from $20-$100/year.
