An example of what a domain or domain name could be is www.desireddomain.co.uk, which can be used for web addresses like www.desireddomain.co.uk and mail addresses such as name@desireddomain.co.uk

A domain or domain name is a uniquely identifiable assigned name which is stored or registered at a special registration institute. Because of its unique character, each domain and IP address can only be registered once worldwide. A domain is usually made up of three sections: www.yourstratodomain.eu.
"www." -> stands for "world wide web", which is a system that can be accessed over the Internet.
"yourstratodomain" -> is the actual domain name
.co.uk -> is what is referred to as a Top Level Domain (TLD) and is normally made up of a country code like .nl for Netherlands, .es for Spain and so on. Other TLDs are registered for specific user groups, as .eu for Europa.
In contrast, web-pages make up the contents of a web-site that is stored on a server. The page contents are displayed when a user types the domain name into the address line in his browser.

Usually your domain name gets registered within a few days Then you will be automatically sent your login data to access the customer service area.

Cleverly designed redirect functions are available to customers from STRATO MailDomain upwards. These allow redirection to another domain that you can choose freely, such as a website already hosted by another online provider. When your new domain name is entered in the browser address line, the browser is re-directed to the domain you specified. Your domain name can still be seen in the browser address line, meaning that the original, often much longer, address remains hidden. A redirect is also possible without restriction to sub-domains for other addresses.

Your domain is booked and registered in your name by STRATO. Which means that you retain the exclusive right of use to the domain (domain owner). The annual charges applicable for registering and servicing your domain are included in the monthly charges you pay STRATO.
