DomänFAQ
What is a domain?
A domain name is a URL that is there to avoid remembering the numeric IP addresses used by "phone" on the internet between computers.
How do I distinguish between domain, top level domain and subdomain?
Each domain name is for a top-level domain (also called TLD, Top Level Domain)
We take this domain is internetsweden.se, so is the internet domain and Sweden are net TLD.
I would like to have a subdomain (subdomain), it might either look like this "nyheter.internetsweden.se" (ie, a subdomain immediately before the domain name)
What is the difference between domains?
Each domain name is unique in order.
it is not possible to register a domain name exactly the same.
However, there are about 260 different TLDs, as a domain name included in a TLD, then the possibility of registering the domain name in another TLD - domain name, but then stops at a different ending that is not the same domain as the occupied.
ie internetsweden.se, internetsweden.com and internetsweden.se are three different domain name.

Who can register a domain?
This differs from the TLD to TLD, but the usual top level domains from the Swedish perspective and interest, allowing anyone to register domains without any hindrance.
Can I take more than one domain?
The most common is that it's free to register domains without antalstak.
What is the difference between domains and trademarks?
A common misconception is that you may or may not register a trademark as a domain name if it is not the holder of the trademark.
This is not true.
Domains and Trademarks are two completely different things;
Trademarks are protected both in 45 different classes of geographic areas.
It may therefore be a large number of holders of same mark or sign, both on the same site in different parts of the world.
And none of these brands hold an automatic right to domain names.
It is in most cases, free for anyone to register an available domain without reservation.
However, if such a holder commercially markets its side in the area a protected trademark right, so it is the issue of trademark infringement.
This means that a free domain name and may be registered by anyone (individual top-level domains may have certain regulations that a local presence in the country, etc.), you will make you not guilty of any crime by registering an available domain.
You can not use some of the domain name you want, without infringing the trademark rights.
