A Domain name is an easy to read web address (i.e. www.oneandone.co.uk or www.amazon.co.uk ) which is translated into a location that computers understand and ip address.

You can only buy the rights to exclusively use a domain name from a domain name registrar who is accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

The registrars charge an annual fee to support the delegation of a domain name to a user and provide a default set of name servers.

Once you purchase the rights to a domain name you are the authorized users also known as “registrants” or as “domain holders”.
