Answer 1)Many people often mix up two terms: domain and site. We'll now try to explain this.
So what is a domain? A domain name uniquely identifies a website. Typing a domain name (also called a URL)
into your browser allows you to visit that site.
One unique domain name can be used as a company's web address and for its email addresses.
A typical domain name looks like this: www.google.com. The "www." means this computer is connected to the
World Wide Web; the middle part of a domain name is usually the name of the company that owns the computer —
in our case, google; the final part of a domain name tells you what kind of site is served by this machine —
in this case, .com means this is a commercial site.

Answer 5)A domain name is a combination of a TLD such as .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, etc, and a name, which together form
a name such as "AtomFactor.com".
A domain name points to a machine address that lets people type in a human-readable name rather than numbers
into their browsers.

Answer 10)They say you should never judge a book by its cover – but we do.
The same is true of domain names. A domain name is the address that your visitors type in when they want to
visit your website, often the first interaction with your brand, your business, or whatever it is that your
website will hold.
The right domain name registration can be the difference between astronomical visitor numbers and absolute
silence. If you give your book a bad cover, who will bother to read inside? If you don’t choose the right web
address, who will bother to visit?
Choosing The Right Web Address
Of course, selecting the right domain name can be difficult. Even if you have a well-established business
name, let’s say Certified Hosting, how will you present that as a web address? Certified.com?
Certifiedhosting.com? Certified-hosting.com?
What about .org, .net, .me? In addition to the first part of your domain, which can contain numbers, letters
and dashes, there are hundreds of so-called Top Level Domains (TLDs), representing countries, industries, and
the type of website you run such as an organization, non-profit, and many others.
The truth is, whatever domain you register, a portion of your visitors will no doubt type in the wrong
address now and then. To guarantee that visitor numbers stay high and you are always in reach, register
multiple domains, giving people multiple routes in to your website.

Answer 14)Domain names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com
represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For
example, in the URL http://www.radsterhosting.com/index.html, the domain name is radsterhosting.com
Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a
limited number of such domains. For example:
gov - Government agencies
edu - Educational institutions
org - Organizations (nonprofit)
mil - Military
com - commercial business
net - Network organizations
ca - Canada
th - Thailand
Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name
System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.

Answer 15)A domain name is the descriptive address of the location of your website. When you purchase hosting you will
be assigned space on a server, this server will have an IP address (192.16.1.1 etc.). Instead of having people
type this into there internet browser to visit your site, you can register a domain name. This Domain Name
will then point to the IP address of your server and hopefully help people remember your site address easier.

Answer 17)A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or
control in the Internet. Domain names are also hostnames that identify Internet Protocol (IP) resources such
as web sites. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS).
Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing
purposes. They are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The
first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains
(gTLDs), such as the prominent domains com, net and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).
Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are
typically open for reservation by end-users that wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, run web
sites, or create other publicly accessible Internet resources. The registration of these domain names is
usually administered by domain name registrars who sell their services to the public.
Individual Internet host computers use domain names as host identifiers, or hostnames. Hostnames are the
leaf labels in the domain name system usually without further subordinate domain name space. Hostnames appear
as a component in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for Internet resources such as web sites (e.g.,
en.wikipedia.org).
Domain names are also used as simple identification labels to indicate ownership or control of a resource.
Such examples are the realm identifiers used in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the DomainKeys used to
verify DNS domains in e-mail systems, and in many other Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).
An important purpose of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and memorizable names to numerically
addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any resource (e.g., website) to be moved to a different
physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet. Such a move
usually requires changing the IP address of a resource and the corresponding translation of this IP address to
and from its domain name.
Domain names are often referred to simply as domains and domain name registrants are frequently referred to
as domain owners, although domain name registration with a registrar does not confer any legal ownership of
the domain name, only an exclusive right of use.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) manages the top-level development and
architecture of the Internet domain name space. It authorizes domain name registrars, through which domain
names may be registered and reassigned. The use of domain names in commerce may subject strings in them to
trademark law. In 2010, the number of active domains reached 196 million.
