A domain name is what a person would type in a browser to access a website. It’s something like www.yourdomainname.com. Of course .com can be anything like .net, .org, .info, .tv, .co.uk among many other possibilities. It needs to be “purchased” by a domain registrar. Pop over to these guys and get a lot of domain name suggestions. I put the word “bought” in quotation marks, simply because, unlike when you buy a product, the domain name does not become ours. In fact, there is the specified time period name (1 year, 2 years, etc.). After this period we will have to pay for renewal otherwise you run the risk of losing the domain name.
A subdomain name is usually to get rid of other hosting services. It can be something like yourname.hostingservice.com. It is always free in most cases.

Why choose a domain name in a subdomain name?
There is nothing wrong with using a subdomain name provided by your web hosting service. However, it is believed that custom domains add credibility to our website. Many visitors may conclude that they are not serious, especially when our site involves collecting money (sales, subscriptions). Because subdomains are free, you can give the wrong perception that we can just scam and disappear. Also, the subdomain names do the URL of the site seems to be too long. However, when paying for a domain name, indicates we are serious and committed to our website and business. They are free and unlimited with some, free, but limited in quantity with others.
What information do you need to know when choosing a domain registrar?
Interesting question, is not it? Well, it’s always good to know a product before you buy it. Like, if you want to buy a cell phone, it is always good to know what cell phones can do on general and specific features, as cell phones have. Then you should try to fit your needs (and wants) and budget with specific templates. You could certainly choose the one that is most compatible with your needs and means.
