A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet. It is the name by which you or your business will be known on the World Wide Web. It must be a unique name to set it apart from all other domain names on the web, so that those who want to find you don't get connected to someone else by mistake. Domain names are also called "domains" for short.

You need a domain so that people who use the Internet can find your site on the World Wide Web. Even if you don't have a website up yet, it is often a good idea to register your domain to avoid someone else getting and using the name that you want. Having your own domain also lets you have a personalized email address, such as your-name@your-domain.ph. A personalized email address is easier to remember and more professional. Example of these domain name’s are www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com, www.ph.inter.net, www.levelupgames.ph and many more.

To help you understand this further a simple analogy and some definitions.

1. Web site: a group of files and programs that reside on a very robust computer connected to the internet
2. Web server: a computer that stores the files and programs that make up the site, and then allows the visitors to access or read those files
3. Web host: an interconnected group of web servers containing web site datas, that other computers can access through the internet , Web hosts also provide technical resources and website maintenance.
4. Domain name: A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet. It is the name by which you or your business will be known on the World Wide Web.

So think of this the landlord builds and maintain the structure, then rents storefronts to those who cannot afford to build his/her own building. Likewise a web host, rents a space on a web server to various business. Each businesses builds their own web site while the web hosts maintains the network of web servers.

Anyone who wants to establish a presence on the Internet should register a domain name. Businesses who have spent time and money building up a brand should also register their brands to prevent unauthorized use.

Having a domain lets Internet users find your site quickly and easily. You can use your domain to get an easy-to-remember e-mail address (ex. sales@your-company.com, or your-first-name@your-last-name.com). Owning a domain name signals you are in step with new technology, and lends you prestige and credibility. It is essential when you advertise yourself on web. Your company names and brands should be on web as domain names, to advertise them, protect them from competitive attack and avoid unauthorized use.

When selecting a domain name, keep in mind that: The domain name should indicate your name/business name or something about you. Many domain names follow the basic format of "your-name.ph" or "business-name.com.ph". At the very least, the domain name should reflect the product, service or point-of-view offered - by your website (ex. aquariums.com.ph or anarchist.ph). The name should be short, catchy and easy to remember. Long domain names often have less recall and are more difficult to type - this may result in less people visiting your site.
