Buy your .vegas domain

A domain name is an address for a website that appears in the browser bar. For example, our domain name is 'website .vegas ’. There are two parts to every domain: the main name (i.e. ‘website’) and the extension (i.e. ‘.vegas’). No two websites can have the same domain name because it is unique to you.

Every site is hosted on an internet web server, or a “host”. Computers access these hosts using an IP – a string of numbers like 94.54.349.43 – but that’s not very memorable for human beings.

A .vegas Name converts an IP address to a more memorable, text-based version so that people don’t need to punch in a huge string of numbers to find the websites they want. This is all done through the Domain Name System – more commonly known as DNS.

Think of your domains like web addresses – the place people will find you online.

An extension is the ending of a Domain Name. Extensions are commonly referred to as a TLD (Top-Level Domain), suffix, or domain root.

There are many types of TLDs such as ccTLDs, which are country code specific, like .uk for the UK, and gTLDs, which are new generic extensions such as .website.

Some of the most popular TLDs include .com, .org, .net and .biz.

Many businesses and brands register their name with multiple extensions to protect their online identity, increase visibility and attract more visitors to their website.

Some of the most popular extension types are Geographic and International domains.

Geographic TLDs are perfect for local businesses and organizations. They tell people in which city or region a shop, a restaurant or an agency is located. Extensions like .london, .vegas, .berlin and .tokyo are a great choice for attracting local customers.

International TLDs are the ideal choice for brands looking to promote their local presence and connect with customers from a specific country. Depending on which market or country you wish to target, you can go with an established international extension like .de, .es, .it or with the new .uk or .global.
