A domain name is a set of letters and numbers which make up the web address of your website. Our domain name is 1-grid.com. Our web address is www.1-grid.com.

 

In order to have your own specific website address, you need to register your own domain name. When choosing a domain name, you should keep the following criteria in mind:


  • Try to register a .com (it’s the most popular) If not you can register a .co.za
  • Make it as short as you possibly can
  • Make it is easy to pronounce
  • Avoid hyphens
  • Do not use others trademark

 

Please Note: Registering your Domain name does not include registering your Company. You will need to Register your Company separately. The Domain name would only be your Identity.

 

Your domain name is unique to you and when someone types it into an Internet browser they will be taken directly to your space on the Internet where they can view your website. 

 

Having your own domain name is also quite useful when creating an email address. Instead of having myowncrazyname@gmail.com, you could have a more credible email address such as name@example.co.za.
