In order to do business online, you need to have a present on the internet first, to do that, you need to have a domain name (if you want to have an independent website, and not by using blogger or wordpress.com etc). You domain name is your own unique identity, because there no two parties can ever hold the same domain name simultaneously; therefore your internet identity is totally unique.
A domain name is an addressing construct, it used for finding and identifying computers on the internet. A good domain name is vital for a business. If the name does not match your business name or slogan then it must be closely related to one or both. I see there many people often miss the importance of having and then keeping their domain name until they lose it.
Getting a domain name involves registering the name you want with an organization called ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) through a domain name registrar. Below this video shows you how and what you need to do toward registering and choosing a domain name.
