What is a Domain Name?

Put simply, a Domain Name is an address on the World Wide Web. For example, "Redalto.com" is a Domain Name. When you type www.redalto.com in your browser, you are directed to this website in order to view the content and information. Behind the scenes, the Domain Name is actually pointing to a unique IP address which identifies the physical location of our webserver which holds all the website files and data. A Domain Name is a unique and individual identity that no other person or company can use. The great thing about having a Domain Name is that although you may change the location of your business or change your hosting provider you always keep your Domain Name. Your customers will always be able to find your website, even if they can’t find you physically.
