    First, choose a domain name for your company. A domain name is the unique Internet name, usually the name of your business, that identifies your company. For example, Multi-Tech’s domain name is multitech.com (where .com indicates this is a commercial organization; .edu denotes educational organizations, .gov denotes government organizations). Next, determine how many IP addresses you’ll need.
