WHOIS Search For Domain

A domain name is a unique name that identifies a website on the Internet. It is a human-readable label that represents an Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a numerical address used by computers to identify each other on the Internet. Domain names are used to make it easier for people to access websites without having to remember the IP address.
For example, instead of typing a long string of numbers like "216.58.194.174" into a web browser to access Google's website, users can simply type "google.com" into the browser's address bar, and the browser will use the domain name to locate the IP address of the server that hosts the website.
Domain names are registered through domain name registrars, and they are usually composed of two or more parts separated by dots, such as "example.com". The right-most part of the domain name is called the top-level domain (TLD), which can be generic, such as ".com", ".org", or ".net", or country-specific, such as ".uk", ".ca", or ".jp".

It is important to have domain names to help potential visitors find your site. Without assigned website names, we would only be able to access them by entering their IP address, which is more difficult to remember.
While performing a domain search to look for a good name, you can include keywords or brand names.

It's easy and fast to buy a domain name as soon as you find it available. But there are some best practices for choosing a good domain name:
Length. Keep it short. Two to three words is ideal.
Simple. Don't use any lengthy or hard-to-spell words.
Keywords. Include a keyword from your niche. For example, if you sell coffee beans in Seattle, try Seattlecoffeebeans.com.
Avoid numbers. Numbers are hard to remember and make everything more complex.
Brand name. Choose a domain with your brand name in it for maximum recognition.

No, once you register a domain, you cannot change it. However, you can purchase another domain name and move your website there.

The minimum registration period for domain names is one year. With Hostginger, you can also register .com, .net, .org, and other domains for up to three years.
If you want to remain the current owner of your domain and make sure that it is always registered to you and your website, we recommend setting up automatic renewal.

No. The www in front of a URL is not a part of your domain.
If you do add www in front of your registered domain name, the final website address will look something like this: www.wwwexample.com. For that reason, you should not add www.
