Some common questions What is a domain name? Put simply a domain name is the address that people use to find you or your company online; it's what you type in the browser's address bar to go to a specific website. For example, our domain name is: http://www.imadscotland.co.uk (in today's browsers, it's not necessary to type the symbols http:// ). If you wanted to visit the BBC website you would just type www.bbc.co.uk How do I buy a domain name?
