Domain Name Search - A domain name is like an address forwarding service. The domain name is the address people type in their web browser to get to your site. The domain name then points to the "real" address which is called the IP address and is a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. This IP address then points to the location on the server that contains your web site files. We use domain names instead of IP addresses due to their convenience to remember. So, your domain name points to your IP address, which in turn points to your web site which allows users to view your web pages.
FAQ: What do we lose if the domain name has lapsed?
Ans: You give away the brand value of your domain name to competitors at no cost. We do not have to emphasize the hard labor and money that goes in building a brand name.
