A domain name is a unique name used to identify you or your organization on the Internet. It is the name that your clients and potential clients will remember and use to locate you and your organization on the Internet. The domain name can be a unique combination of you and your business that makes you stand out in the crowd.

A Domain Reseller is a company who offers domain registrations to their clients but use a domain wholesaler to provide them with the domain registration services. Usually a reseller would appear just as if they were the registrar of the domain name. They are considered the Registration Provider.

Domain transfers are done for a fee which varies from registrar to registrar. Point2 offers domain transfers for just $8.95 US and includes an additional year of registration for completed domain transfers.

A Domain Wholesale provider is a company which offers bulk domain registrations to various reseller companies.
