What is a Domain Name? Print

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!
