CC
CC stands for "Connectivity Co-ordination" and describes how the change of a
domain name from one provider to another occurs (domain transfer).
D
DNS
The abbreviation DNS stands for Domain Name Service and refers to a
provider of Internet services that registers domain names for customers.
Domain
A domain is the website's Internet address. It consists of the name of the
Internet protocol (usually http://), the computer or network name (such as
www), the second-level domain (such as magix), and the top level domain
(such as .com, .net).
Altogether we have:
protocol://networkname.second-level-domain.top-level-domain (such as
"http://www.magix.com").
Domains are allocated by a country's so-called NIC (Network Information
Center). In Germany the DENIC is responsible for the release of domains.
MAGIX takes care of this registration and technical maintenance of your
domain as well as the webhosting of your site (created with MAGIX Website
Maker).
Domain transfer
See CC. If you already have a domain, you can move it from your previous
provider to another provider.
