What is a domain name?

A domain name is a unique tag that identifies you to other computers connected to the
Internet. Every domain name represents a set of numbers called an IP address. For
example, Higher Images' IP address is 74.208.9.157. You could type that number into
your web browser’s address bar, or simply type ‘higherimages.com.' Either entry will take you to our website.

Your domain name acts as your calling card on the web because you can choose a name
that represents your business, your family name, or anything else that can be
remembered easily and associated with you. If you add Higher Images WebMail to your hosting package, you’ll be able to send and receive e-mail with your domain name as the address.
