Updated on 3 November 2026
Registering your domain name is what gives you a presence on the Internet. It is like choosing the name of a business.
As soon as your domain name is registered, nobody but you can use that same name.
Domain names are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
- To protect your brand.
- To have your own custom e-mail address and your site.
- So that your friends, your partners or your clients can find you on the web.
