A domain name is like your website's address on the internet. Instead of memorizing a long string of numbers (an IP address), you just type in a simple name, like "google.com," to visit a site. When you type a domain name into a browser, it finds the website's location and shows the webpage.
What Makes Up a Domain Name? A domain name has two parts:
- SLD (Second-Level Domain): This is the name you choose, like "google."
- TLD (Top-Level Domain): This is the part that comes after the dot, like ".com."
Common TLDs:
- .com
- .net
- .org
- .info
- .biz
- .mobi
- .name
- .tel
- .asia
- .pro
A domain name makes it easy to find and visit websites without remembering complicated numbers!
