What is a Domain Name?
A Domain Name is a unique alphanumeric name used to identify a particular computer (i.e. web server or mail server) on the Internet. Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such as accudatagroup.com, to identify a numeric address such as 203.200.152.201. It's an Online Brand or unique identity on the web. No two parties can have the same Domain Name.
Eg: yourname.com
Why do I need one?
Domain Name is your identity on the web. To promote yourself and your business on the web it is necessary to have one. Worldwide people can visit you online and can know about your business through your site & you can promote your online business with the domain name.
How to get one?
First step in domain name registration is to check the availability of the name. A domain can have maximum 63 characters including TLDs i.e., .com, .net, or. org. It may contain numbers (0-9), letters (a-z) or a dash (-), no other symbol is accepted. It should start and end with a letter or digit. Fill up the form, give the payment details and submit. Your chosen domain name/s registration begins after receiving payment. After registration, you can book the server space (www.accudatagroup.com) to host your web site and start the web site development work.
What are the different components of domain name?
A Domain Name is a combination of two or more words. The last word is called "Top Level Domain". A Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the suffix that is attached to the end of a domain name. For instance, in the domain name, accudatagroup.com, ".com" is the TLD. Global Top Level Domains (gTLD) i.e. .org, .net, .com can be registered by anybody. To the left of TLD comes "second level domain". E.g. In 'accudatagroup.com',accudatagroup is second level domain, '.com' is TLD. One can also have 'my.accudatagroup.com' here 'my' is called the host name or sub domain.
What are these different TLD’s i.e., .com, .net, and .org?
There is no such significant difference between them. These are just a few options and you can even avail all of them.
Who can register?
Any entity be it Individuals, organizations, ISPs, corporate resellers, etc in any type of profession can register to get a recognition on the Internet.
What is an IP address?
Numeric Address associated with every computer on the Internet to identify its location is called its IP (Internet Protocol) address. An example is 203.200.152.201. It is much easier to remember www.accudatagroup.com than 203.200.152.201.

What is DNS?
DNS stands for Domain Name Server. It translates alphanumeric domain name to numeric IP address that a computer understands, i.e., DNS will translate www.accudatagroup.com to 203.200.152.201, its IP address on the web.
What is URL?
URL stands for Universal Resource Locator and referred as web address. URL is a unique identifier. An example is: http://www.accudatagroup.com/
For how long can a domain name be registered?
You can register a domain name from 1 year to 10 years
How long it takes to register a domain name?
The process takes up to 48 hrs to fully take effect and show up on a who is query. Even if the name, because of any reason, does not show up in who is query after 24hr, be assured then you have been reserved for the registrant (the one who has applied for domain name) and the name cannot be used by anyone else.
What if the name is already in use?
Then you can go for other TLDs for the same name like .net instead of .org for some other name. Or try our user friendly features –
Multiple Domain feature, which allows you to check 10 names at one go
Smart Search feature, which gives you appropriate suffix and prefix.
If you feel a name should be lawfully yours but someone else has already got it registered- follow the Uniform Dispute Resolution policy and take legal opinion.
