Domain name
From JumbaWiki
A domain name is a name that allows people to find your web site on the internet. Your domain name should usually be similar to your business name, or related to your business. You can then use this name for your web site (www.mysmallbusiness.com.au) and email address (peter@mysmallbusiness.com.au). You can continue to use your domain name for as long as you continue to pay the registration fee.
Domain names are issued by a domain registrar such as Jumba.
