A domain name is the unique name that identifies an Internet website. Domain names are used in URLs (web addresses) to identify Web pages. For example our domain name is http://www.greenriverwebdesign.com. An important part of the domain is the Top-Level Domain, or TLD, which is the suffix attached to Internet domain names. There are a limited number of these predefined suffixes, each one representing a top-level domain. Some of the most popular top-level domains are:

.com - commercial businesses
.gov - U.S. government agencies
.edu - Educational institutions
.org - Organizations (usually nonprofit)
.net - Network organizations

The cost of your domain name can depend on which TLD you choose, but generally ranges between $5 and $10 per year. You can go to GoDaddy's Website to see if the domain name that you would like to have is available.
