A domain name is a way to identify and locate computers and resources
connected to the Internet. No two organizations can have the same
domain name.
Every company or organization that wants to be on the internet will
register a domain name for use as their on-line identity or name that
clients (customers, all internet users) will use to access on-line
services such as the organization's webpage or email system.
For example, YOUR-COMPANY registered the domain name YOUR-COMPANY.COM,
so users on the internet can access their website (and order services,
etc) at WWW.YOUR-COMPANY.COM and send email to YOUR-COMPANY employees
at username@YOUR-COMPANY.COM. Much like a company's name, logo, or
phone number, a domain name has marketing value when customers can
easily remember and associate it with the organization. Since over 11
million domain names have already been registered world-wide, it can
be difficult to find a good domain name. We will find your domain
names and will set them up for you. |

Electronic-mail or Email is the process of sending messages
electronically using your computer. You can send messages when it is
convenient for you - even at 2 am. Your recipient responds at his
convenience.
Email can be sent anywhere in the world using your computer and a
modem. Email is almost instant in its delivery and it is very cheap to
use especially for international messages, costing only the price of
the telephone connection to the Internet Service Provider. You may
send many messages at one time or just one to a designated location.
In order to receive or send email you need to have an email address
and you need to know the address of the person to whom you wish to
send a message.
Addresses are made up in a standard way using the following
elements:
- User identification eg. You or a name you wish to choose. It is
usual to have part of your own name to make it easily identifiable
- the @ or at symbol to locate the person
- the domain name of the computer receiving your mail eg.
Yourcompany
- and finally .co.uk to locate the address in United Kingdom
the final address will look like this: you@yourcompany.co.uk
Of course you will need to know the address and the password to get
to your email, a little like your pin number for your credit card. |
