Domain Names-some Basic Information
Without a domain name, websites are specified by an ip address. What is an ip address? It is an identifier that is used by computers or humans to determine the location of a server or website. However, for humans, an ip address, (which is expressed in a numerical format), can be difficult to remember. This is why domain names were invented. With a domain name, a human can locate a website through more user-friendly words or phrases. And although numbers can be a part of a domain name, they usually do not make up all of it, like what is seen with an ip address.
