What's a domain name?

A domain name is a way to identify and locate computers and resources connected to the Internet.

Each domain name corresponds to numeric IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

The Domain Name System(DNS) is a collection of databases that contain information about domain names and their corresponding IP addresses. Domain name servers are computers that translate domain names to IP addresses. This system allows Internet users to deal with the more intuitive domain names, rather than having to remember a series of numbers.

Mission « We want to foster increased participation from developing and least developed nations at the Information Society, specifically at the Domain name world - as a pre-requisite to harness African Content into Internet, and this business will fit into that missing link . »

Goal « Our new challenge is to give voice to African communities, individuals, organizations in the naming business and every single African citizen will be able in a very short term to have a domain name, a web site and a relevant content through any available device in Africa. »
