A domain is the unique name or address people use to access your website on the internet.

For Example:

If your website is: https://www.senzense.com
Then yourcompany.com is the domain name.

In Simple Terms:

A domain is like your home address on the web — it tells browsers where to find your website.

Parts of a Domain Name:

Let’s break down an example domain:

www.senzense.com

  1. www – Optional prefix (stands for World Wide Web)
  2. senzense – The name you choose for your brand
  3. .com – The domain extension (also called TLD – Top Level Domain)

How to Buy a Domain Name – Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Domain Name

  • Think of a name that is short, relevant, and easy to remember
  • Avoid special characters or hyphens if possible
  • Use keywords if you want better SEO (e.g., mlmnetworkpro.com, directsaleshub.com)

    • Tip: Have a few backup names in case your first choice is taken.

Step 2: Check Domain Availability

Go to any domain registrar website and search for your domain name:

  • Popular domain registrars:
  • GoDaddy
  • Namecheap
  • Google Domains
  • Hostinger
  • Bluehost

Enter your desired domain name in the search box. It will show whether it's available.

Step 3: Choose a Domain Extension

These are the endings like:

  • .com (most popular and trusted)
  • .net, .org, .biz, .co
  • Country-specific: .in, .us, .uk
  • Niche options: .store, .app, .tech, .mlm

Step 4: Add to Cart & Review

  • Once you find your domain, add it to your cart
  • The registrar may offer extras like:
  • Domain privacy protection (hides your contact info — recommended)
  • Email hosting
  • Website builder or hosting

You can skip extras if you already have a hosting provider or just want the domain for now.

Step 5: Create an Account & Pay

  • Sign up for an account on the registrar’s website
  • Proceed to checkout
  • Domains typically cost:

    • $8–$15/year for .com
    • Some are cheaper or on discount for the first year

Choose a 1-year or multi-year plan. You can also set it to auto-renew so you don’t lose the domain.

Step 6: Confirm Ownership

After payment:

  • You’ll get an email to confirm domain ownership
  • .net, .org, .biz, .co
  • Click the link to verify
  • Your domain is now yours!

Step 7 (Optional): Connect Domain to Hosting

If you have a web hosting provider, you’ll need to:

  • Log in to your domain registrar
  • Go to DNS Settings
  • Change nameservers to match your hosting provider (they’ll give you this info)
  • This connects your domain to your website.
