What is a Domain?

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

A domain name is a name that points to a particular location or server on the web.  (See what is a URL).  A domain consists of the domain name plus a TLD, which is the part you see at the end of a domain name, the most popular being .com .net and .org.

The Web understands a domain name as pointing to a particular IP address on the web.  The IP address points to a particular server on the web.  The domain name is just a way of easily going to that particular site without having to type in or remember some long IP Address.

The domain for this site is webhostanswers.net.
