A domain name is the address of your website that people type in the browser's URL bar to visit your website. If your website were a house, then your domain name would be its address.
How Domain Names Work
The internet is a giant network of computers connected to each other through cables. To identify each computer, they are assigned a series of numbers called an IP Address—a combination of numbers separated with dots that typically looks like this: 66.249.66.1
Computers have no problem identifying and remembering these numbers. However, it's nearly impossible for humans to remember and use these numbers to connect to websites.
To solve this problem, domain names were invented. A domain name uses words instead of numbers, making website addresses easy to remember.
Now, when you want to visit a website, you don't need to type a string of numbers. Instead, you simply type an easy-to-remember domain name, such as megabit.rw.
Choosing Your Domain Name
When selecting a domain name for your website, consider:
- Memorability — Choose something easy to remember
- Relevance — Align it with your brand or business
- Extension — Select the right TLD (.com, .rw, .org, etc.)
- Availability — Check if your preferred name is available
