What is a domain name?
A domain name is a name which locates your website,
kind of like your home address will locate your house,
a domain name is a address to the server where your
website files are stored and when entered will bring
up your website. So you will need your website files
hosted in a hosting account somewhere. A domain name
can have any extension available, it will work the same.
examples of domain names are www.YourName.com / www.YourName.co.uk
/ www.YourName.net, you can see if a domain name is

How does your domain link to hosting?
Your host will give you nameservers which will find
your server, and these will find your hosting account
on that server, if you buy a domain & hosting from
us together this will already be done for you
How do i change nameservers?
You need to go into the account with the domain
registrar that you have your domain with and depending
on host, click on change nameservers and you will have
been given by your host 2 nameservers, and you need
to enter these into Nameserver 1 & Nameserver 2
fields

other website when entered in web browser
