What is a domain? In the Internet world, a domain is the address of a website, which is used to make the website accessible on the Internet. It is also a unique identifier of the website, through which users can access the website by browsing the web. The domain has two parts. It consists of a top-level domain (TLD) and a second-level domain (SLD).
- TLD – This is the topmost part of the domain and indicates the type of website or the address of the corresponding republic. Like- .com (commercial), .org (organization), .net (network), .gov (government) and .edu (educational) etc.
- SLD – It comes below the top-level domain and is the special name of the website. For example, bhaskar is an SLD when it comes to bhaskar.com.
Domain name registration is done by domain manager. Domain managers register new domain names. Domains are translated into IP addresses through the Domain Name System (DNS) so that computers can locate and connect to resources on the Internet. When you type a domain name into a web browser, the DNS system translates that name into a corresponding IP address, allowing you to access the website.
