What is
a domain name?
A domain name is a two part web address
unique to your specific website, for example, artisticvideo.com.
While the first part is who you are, the second part,
"com", stands for commercial. Once registered,
you'll have your own unique domain name, for example,
www.yourcompany.com. Your domain name cannot be taken
by anyone else, and will make your web address easy
to look up, remember, and even type.

What
are the specifications for a domain name?
While the total length of a domain name
may be up to twenty-four characters, the only characters
allowed are letters, digits, and the dash. A domain
name cannot, however, begin or end with a dash. The
"www" which comes before the domain name in
a website address is not, in fact, part of the domain
name.

How long does
it take before my domain name is active?
Once your domain name has been registered
(or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about
48 hours before it is active. All Internet providers
must update their records to reflect new site locations.
This is called propagation.
