The main purpose of a domain name is to provide symbolic representations (recognizable names) to mostly numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any website to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet, in effect changing the IP address. This translation from domain names to IP addresses (and vice versa) is accomplished with the global facilities of Domain Name System (DNS).

When you select your domain name it is important to consider the purpose of that domain name. The main target is to provideany person with an easy way to reach your web site. The best domain names have the following characteristics:
1) Short - People don't like to type! The shorter your domain name, the easier it is to reach it is and the less the chances are that an internet user to misspell it.
2) Meaningful - A short domain name is nothing without having meaning. Select a domain name that relates to your business in a way that people will understand its name.
3) Clear - Clarity is important when selecting a domain name. You should avoid selecting a domain name that is difficult to spell or pronounce.
4) Exposure: In addition to humans viewing you should consider how search engines view your domain name. In order to maximize your websites exposure, consider including a relevant search term in your domain name. (see the SEO page)

Expired domain names: When you register a domain name, think of it as a rental. You are free to use it as long as you continue to pay an annual fee. You can now also register your domain name in advance as many as 10 years for some Top Level Domains. For more and detailed information, check Domain name - Whois details (SydneyWebs database). If you wish to register an expired domain name you pay the same fee as you would for a new domain name registration. From a financial point of view, "new" or "expired" means "available", you can have it.
