Nowadays, the rapid growth of e-commerce has been a responsible factor in the need of domain name protection.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is a unique, easy-to- remember, address used to access websites – not to be mistaken with the URL (uniform resource locator), which is a web address, also containing the transfer protocol and the path.

The importance of domain names; choose them wisely

Domain names will help you to protect your brand’s identity, business name and even future business ideas. They will play a very important role in your website’s identity and success.
