Domain name means the identity of a website just like the real name of any person. We can classify and remember website by their domain names as each website owns a unique domain name. Domain names are the first thing that we need when we decide to start a website.

We can buy domain names from domain name registrars or directly from web hosting companies. These web hosting companies are mostly the resellers of some domain name registrars and work on their behalf so better idea is to register our domain names directly from registrars. But one thing that makes web hosting companies more attractive for domain names is the free domain name registration with their hosting packages.

Apart from where you buy your domain name you must check if you get complete control over your domain name. Domain control means the access to manage your domain name like changing the name servers, getting the domain transfer authorization code and also the contact details. This helps you to change your domain name registrar or web hosting company any time without any problem.
