Domain registration enables you to obtain an "Internet Domain Name" or "Web Address" which is your unique identity address on the Internet. A domain name takes the form of a string of characters, followed by a period or "dot" and then by another string of characters, usually com, net or org.
The last set of characters is referred to as the Top Level Domain, or "TLD". Your domain name is referred to technically as a Second Level Domain, or "SLD". Some commonly known domain names are yahoo.com and ebay.com
