A domain name is the unique Internet name that identifies your Web site to the Internet community.  For example, the domain name of this Web site is plainwebdesign.com.

Your domain name directs clients, customers and friends who are online to your Web site. Once you register your domain name, no other individual or business is able to use that name as long as you maintain its ownership.

Domain names are being registered at the rate of hundreds, if not thousands, every day. It is important that you register your domain name as the first step towards establishing your Web presence.

The cost of registration varies between registrars but should be lower than US$15 per year (domain names may be registered for periods of up to 10 years). Plain Web Design can register your domain name on your behalf if you wish.
