What is Domain Name?

[Scott_H]

A domain name is a text string that corresponds to a numeric IP address and is used to access a website using client software. A domain name is a text that a user types into a browser window to access a certain website in plain English. For example, Google's domain name is 'google.com.'

A website's true address is a complex numerical IP address, but thanks to DNS, users may type in human-friendly domain names and be directed to the websites they want. A DNS lookup is the term for this procedure.

A domain name is a unique name that identifies a website. A user accesses a site through a domain name. Domain names are used to make sites easier to remember. Domain names have two or more parts, separated by periods (dots). A domain name can be registered with ICANN affiliated web registrar or we can do that for you. A domain name needs to be renewed each year. Domain name is also known as URL or Web site address.

Do you want it in layman's terms or official will do?

Hi, this is a rather basic question, but how would you define a domain name?
