What is a ''domain name''?
The last two nodes of a website name (e.g., for a website of ''www.mysite.org,'' the domain name is ''mysite.org''. Domain names are registered and owned by the website author. The domain name is used to form the network name of servers (computers on the internet). The network name is a human readable moniker (e.g., ''www.mysite.org'') which is used to lookup the internet protocol address (IP address) of the server on the internet (e.g., "64.202.163.121"). Once translated, messages intended for that network name (e.g., ''www.mysite.org'') are routed to the actual IP address (e.g., "64.202.163.121").

Why you should have a genealogy website

	The major reason to have a genealogy website is communication! A genealogy website reaches out to all those cousins you've been looking for. They will have specific knowledge, stories, and even artifacts that have been passed down on their side of the family. Without a genealogy website, the genealogist must make "cold-calls." With a genealogy website, you are saying: "Hey Cuz! Are you out there?."
	Another major reason to have a genealogy website is collaboration! A genealogy website fosters, encourages, and supports collaboration between genealogists spread around the world. The combined knowledge and insight of your cousins and fellow genealogists is efficiently pooled into a genealogy website available to all.
	Is your goal to write a genealogy book? A genealogy website will allow you to organize all your information, from prose to facts, from document scans to photos. In a straight forward conversion, the genealogy website can be turned into a genealogy book!
Now's the Time - it's never been easier!
