Domain Name


Domain name is the name we write in the toolbar of explorer, in order to visit a site. For every web site this name is unique. It is the application of the idea of the University of Wisconsin, which created the Domain Name System (DNS), in 1983 that made the life of the internet users easier, because they do not need to remember IP numbers but only a name with Latin characters.
The domain name has the form www.name.ending (per example www.internetinfo.gr). The different endings have been created in order the various web sites to be put in categories (per example the ending .gr is for a site from Greece). But this rule does not stand always.
In order to register a domain name, you have to address to someone who makes registrations of domain names. The registration is made by private companies, something that happens also in Greece. It is valid for two years and the cost depends on the company. The competition of the free market though has waned the cost and from 52 Euros, which was the price that University of Crete charged- it was the first that made registrations- for two years, now there are prices that start from 20 euros.

Hereby you can see a link with a web site of the most reliable cheap Greek companie that make registrations of domain names.

We support the idea of the internet being free for everyone and at high speed. The cost can thus be covered by the countries and companies active within its trading sector.
