The World Wide Web employs unique numbers identified as IP addresses and every device or site that is part of the Web features such an address. It is pretty difficult to remember to visit 123.123.123.123 to load a website though, because of this a significantly simpler structure was created in the 80s - domain names. Each domain consists of a primary part and an extension, for instance domain.com or domain.co.uk. A large number of extensions exist globally - some of them are assigned to countries, such as .co.uk in the abovementioned example, which is assigned to the United Kingdom, while various others are generic, for instance .com or .net. A number of extensions are available for registration by any entity and others have specific requirements - business registration, local presence, etc. You are able to obtain a new domain name via a registrar company like ours and if the extension supports domain transfers, you're able to move an existing domain between registrars as well.
