How to get a Domain Name for free
What is Domain
Name:
A domain name is basically your website name. It is the
address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for
finding / locating and identifying computers / machines on the Internet. As you
are aware that Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of numbers.
However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of
this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet
rather than using IP addresses.
A domain name can be any combination of letters and
numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various domain name
extensions, such as .com, .net, .ga, .gov, .in and more.
Properties of
Domain Name:

unique. NO two websites can have the same domain name. If someone types

your website and no one else's.
