The World Wide Web is based on unique numbers referred to as IP addresses and every single unit or web site that is part of the Web contains this type of an address. It is pretty difficult to remember to visit 123.123.123.123 to load a website though, because of this a much simpler structure was launched in the 1980s - domains. Every domain name contains a primary part as well as an extension, to give an example domain.com or domain.co.uk. Many different extensions exist worldwide - part of them are assigned to countries, like .co.uk in the aforementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while others are generic, like .com or .net. Some extensions are available for registration by every entity and others have specific requirements - business registration, regional presence, etcetera. You're able to get a brand new domain via a registrar firm such as ours and if the extension supports domain transfers, you're able to move an existing domain name between registrars as well.
