Lets say you are interested on getting your website and in the process you come across something call domain name, bells ring on to your brain, what is it ? How do i get it ? Is it expensive to have one? why can't i have my website without domain name ? Ok we are going to answer all of your questions.

A domain name is simply a placeholder for an IP address. Whenever you type a domain name into the browser something interesting happens . The browser will send that name to a server which will translate the domain name into an IP address. That server will then forward the request to the server that contains that IP address. What comes back to you are the contents of that final server. You can get one when you signup with web hosting company to host your website (most of the web hosting company offers free domain with the plan). Can you have your mail without mailing address, the answer will be no,  if you can't have your mail without mailing address than you cannot have your website without domain name.
