A domain name is your unique address on the internet, like www.yourcompany.com. It serves as an easy-to-remember identifier that translates to an IP address where your website is hosted.
Key Components:
- Top-Level Domain (TLD): The extension like .com, .net, or .org
- Second-Level Domain: Your chosen name (e.g., "yourcompany")
- Subdomain: Optional prefix like "www" or "blog"
Domain names make it easier for visitors to find and remember your website compared to using numeric IP addresses.
