Domain Glossary

Custom Domain

A custom domain is a unique, branded web address that a person or organization registers and uses for their website, rather than relying on a free subdomain provided by a platform (such as example.wordpress.com or example.wixsite.com). It typically includes a chosen name and a top-level domain (TLD) such as .club, .biz, or a niche or geographic extension.
