What is a Domain?

A domain is a name that is used to identify a website or web page on the internet. For example, the address "google.com" is the domain of Google's website. A domain is an important piece of information and identifier for a website, and is generally found in the URL of a website.

Domains often consist of words that describe a web page's name or subject, and are ended with a country code or a domain extension (such as .com, .net, .org). For example, the domain "example.com" includes the word "example" and the ".com" domain extension. Domains are keys used to find and access websites on the internet, and typically reflect a web page's content and purpose.
