How to Register Your Domain Name With 6axis Media
A great domain name means instant credibility! In this article, we will help you to better understand what a domain name is, and how to register your domain name with 6axis Media.
What is a Domain Name?
A Domain name, i.e.: yoursitename.extension, is used to identify the name of your website, as well as the online address to your website. Essentially, it is the website address where your customers can find you online. When visiting a website, you would type a domain name into your computer or Mobile browser address window and hit enter. This action will then direct you to an online article that you would like to read, or to a company so you can to review and/or purchase their products.
Our domain name is 6axism.ca, and our websites online address is https://6axism.ca. If you notice our domain names online address has been slightly changed, and now contain, https://. The https:// protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), along with a SSL Certificate, is used for secure communication over a computer network, and in a nutshell the internet is a vast array of computer networks. The SSL Certificate is widely used across the Internet and is identified by a Lock icon located to the left of the website address. This ensures the user that their connection to your website is secure, and allows for secure data and Commerce transactions. All of our Cloud Hosting Solutions include a free SSL Certificate.
