What is a Domain?

A domain is a human-readable address that represents a specific location on the internet. It's used to identify websites, email servers, and other online resources.

Parts of a Domain

A domain consists of two main parts:

• Top-Level Domain (TLD): This is the last part of the domain, such as ".com", ".org", or ".net". It indicates the purpose or type of website.
• Second-Level Domain: This is the main part of the domain name, like "example" in "example.com". It represents the specific website or resource.

Example:

The domain "www.example.com" is made up of:

• Top-Level Domain (TLD): ".com"
• Second-Level Domain: "example"

Domains are registered through domain registrars and must be unique to avoid conflicts.
