As a part of buying any domain name you will have to pay yearly registration fees. These fees depend on the registrar you decide to keep your domain with, but typically run anywhere from $8.95 to $25.00 per year. IF YOU FAIL to pay these yearly registration/renewal costs to your domain registrar, your domain will expire and you will no longer have ownership rights to the domain name.

Domain names are the familiar names of URLs, or unique identifiers, on the Internet.

Domain names function in a manner similar to a physical address in the physical world: Domain names identify IP addresses. Just as you would address a letter to send in the mail, the IP address tells computers where websites are located on a network.

Domain names are assigned by ICANN, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. ICANN is the accrediting regulatory agency that governs the use of domain names. ICANN's primary mission is to make sure that every domain has a URL, and that each domain has a unique IP address.

Domain names need to be renewed yearly by their owner (registrant). This registration fee is paid to a registrar, such as NameBright.com, who acts as the middleman between domain owners and ICANN.

When registration fees are not paid, registrars must comply with ICANN rules and attempt to notify the registrant. If the registrant does not respond to notifications, the domain name goes through an expiration process, whereupon ICANN releases the domain to the open market.

It's easy to think a domain name and a website are the same. While they are related, they are very different things.

• A domain name is like the address of your home. It just tells people where to go to find you.
• Websites are the code and content that you provide.
• A web host is a service that provides technology, allowing your website to be seen on the Internet.

• A domain registrar is an ICANN accredited organization that sells and manages domain names.
• The domain name registry is a database of all domain names and the associated registrant information within each TLD.
• A domain name registrant is the person or organization who has registered a domain name.

TLD stands for Top-Level Domain, which is the part of the domain name located to the right of the dot.

gTLD stands for Generic Top Level Domain. gTLDs are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs).

Uniform Resource Locator is the address of a web page – consisting of the protocol (such as https), followed by the domain name and TLD, and specific links to pages.

For example: https://www.hugedomains.com/about.cfm
