The domain name is an essential data on the internet. Without it, we would not type for example driverscloud.com but 193.70.122.38, a bit like if your letter carrier did not have your address but only your GPS coordinates!
An internet address or domain name is just as important as your postal address. It is a simple way to find your website on the web. If you want to have a personalized email address or develop a website, the domain name is essential.
How does it work? When you type for example www.driverscloud.com, your browser will query the DNS (Domain Name System) server on which you depend, for example the one of Google is 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4. This last one works like a phone book, it looks for the name of the site in its database, and ensures the correspondence towards theIP address of the server on which the site is hosted, the browser has then only to display it.
Domain names are unique and can be used in two different ways: either for a site or to personalize your email such as xxxx@driverscloud.com. There are many companies that specialize in selling domain names, for example the giant Amen.
When you buy a domain name from Amen, you get :
- 3 email accounts with 2 GB of storage space
- tools for creating a website
- dynamic micro hosting
- free SSL
- automatic backups
How do I buy a domain name? Simply indicate in the search bar what you want and see if it is available. If it is, you can get it. Remember that each domain name exists with different extensions (.FR for France, . COM for international...) with variable prices.
For example, currently at Amen, you can have strong discounts like for example the .com or .fr at only 1,20 € for one year. So if you want to buy a domain name, now is the time!
