| QUESTION:
What is a domain name?
|
ANSWER:
A domain name is a Web address. The
domain name is the same as an IP address (which represents a
physical point on the Internet), except the domain name is
letters and numbers that make sense to humans, while the IP
address is a series of numbers. Thus a domain name locates an
organization or other entity on the Internet. When someone
types a domain name into a Web browser, the requested Web page
will open. For example, the domain name www.yourdomain.com
locates an Internet address for "yourdomain.com."
A domain name consists of a top-level and a second-level
domain. The "com" part of the domain name generally
reflects the type or purpose of the organization or entity and
is called the top-level domain (TLD) name. The part of the
domain name located to the left of the dot (" . ")
— "yourdomain" in this case — is called the
second-level domain (SLD) name. The second-level domain name
— being the "readable" part of the address —
refers to the organization or entity behind the Internet
address. Second-level domains must be registered through an
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN)
accredited registrar.
