What is a domain name and how does it affect your business? Simply put, a domain name is an address on the Internet or World Wide Web that surfers use to access your web site. Excellent examples of domain names are Yahoo.com, Google.com, Pilipiinas.PH and yes, MagNegosyo.com, too! Anyway, here is a definition of domain names from Wikipedia.
The term domain name has multiple related meanings:
- A name that identifies a computer or computers on the internet. These names appear as a component of a Web site‘s URL, e.g. wikipedia.org. This type of domain name is also called a hostname.
- The product that domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names are often called registered domain names.
- Names used for other purposes in the Domain Name System (DNS), for example the special name which follows the @ sign in an email address, or the Top-level domains like .com, or the names used by the Session Initiation Protocol (VoIP), or DomainKeys.
They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as “web addresses”.
