• Domain registration refers to the process of registering a domain name, which identifies one or more IP addresses with a name that is easier to remember and use in URLs to identify particular Web pages. The person or business that registers domain name is called the domain name registrant.
• Domain registration requires utilizing the services of a domain name registrar, an ICANN or national ccTLD accredited company that has the authority to register domain names. Registrars help individuals and organizations register a domain name that has an extension like .com, .org, .net, .info, .biz, .us, .mobi, .name, .pro, .tv, etc.

• Domain name registration gives you credibility, personality, recognized identity and an aura of respectability. The information about its owner/registrant is publicly available.
• If you get a domain name that describes your company's business or name, people can remember the name easily and can return to your site without having to consult their documents.
