What is a domain?

A domain is where your website can be found online, e.g. Youtube's domain is www.youtube.com, or B12's domain is www.b12.io.

B12 websites have a default domain that ends in .b12sites.com, but it's best to have a custom domain, such as www.mybusinessname.com. Custom domains look professional, are memorable, and help build your brand identity.
