A domain name is the internet address (location) at which web visitors can find a website. It usually consists of a "www" prefix with a ".com" suffix. Other common suffixes are ".net", ".org", etc. Geographical suffixes denoting specific nations are also available. For example, ".uk" represents United Kingdom. A website with a .uk suffix would be associated as a United Kingdom based or related site. Domain names are tied to IP addresses in order for the computer to find the website. The nice domain names that we see, eg. www.domain.com could actually be represented by 202.121.44.34 - which is the actual address! Back to up
The human-readable address for a website. The Internet actually uses numbers (IP addresses) to locate computers, but this isn't the easiest way for people to remember things, so domain names are used. Domains tell some things about the site they point to, such as being a company name (www.ibm.com). They can have beginning parts that tell how they are accessed (www for World Wide Web, ftp for File Transfer Protocol), and end in an extension such as the following: com: company edu: educational org: organization gov: government mil: military net: network XX: two letter country codes (e.g. United Kingdom = uk, Canada = ca)
A name for a computer that distinguishes it from all other computers on an internet (such as the Internet or another IP-based network such as an intranet).

All computers have IP addresses while connected to the Internet, but it would be far too difficult to remember a long set of numbers to type in every time you wanted to visit a site (ex: 255.7.35.90). By using domain names, anyone can assign a unique name to their site that anyone can remember and type in with ease. For example, the domain name for Rutgers is "rutgers.edu." See also TLD, sub domain, virtual domain.
A domain name is a text name appended to a host name to form a unique host name across Internet.
A unique name that represents each computer on the Internet. (Some machines do have more than one domain name.) The DNS converts the domain name requested by an Internet user into an IP address.
The unique name that identifies an Internet site. On the Web, the domain name is the part of the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that tells a domain name server where to forward a request for a Web page. For example, the domain name of this web site is starrsites.com.
A Domain Name identifies an Internet site, and consists of at least 2 words separated by dots. For example, "skypoint.com" is a Domain Name.
The unique name that identifies an Internet site. Ie; www.hvacwebconnection.com
User-friendly web addresses, like "www.yourname.com", as opposed to the more common and obtuse "www.artex.net/users/~jones/myfile.html". Whew! [Not available with AOL (big surprise)
Domain names are used to locate computers on the Internet. Minimally domain names consist of a name and a suffix. The suffix is usually .edu, .com, .net, .org, or .gov in the United States, but each country also has its own suffix (for example, the United Kingdom is .uk).
A name that identifies one or more Internet addresses. Domain names are used in URL s to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.samthesitemaker.com/index.htm, the domain name is samthesitemaker.com. Domain names are not case sensitive, but the part of the URL following .com (or .net or .org, etc.) is case sensitive in the hosting servers used by SSM.
A unique name identifying an Internet site, made up of two or more parts separated by dots. A domain name points to only one machine, although a machine may have more than one domain name.
The unique name of a collection of computers connected to a network such as the Internet. On the Internet domain names typically end with a suffix denoting the site; i.e., microsoft.com. The ".com" in this case stands for a for-profit company; ".edu" (educational institution) and ".gov" (government) are other common domain name extensions.
The last two parts of an Internet address. For instance, if you look at the URL for this page, you'll see it begins with www.ineedanerd.com. Our domain name is ineedanerd.com. The "www" part tells the server the machine from which we'd like to retrieve our information. Though "www" is the most common precursor, you will see others, such as home.netscape.com and toolshed.down.net, or sites with no precursor at all, such as leary.com.
A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. Domain names always have at least two parts that are separated by dots (for instance lsoft.com). The part on the left is the second-level domain (more specific), while the part on the right is the top-level domain (more general).
A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top-level (TLD) domain 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.
You'll find the domain name to the right of the @ sign in an email address, or about ten characters into a URL. Domain names are used by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and they come with different extensions based on whether the domain belongs to a commercial enterprise (.com), an educational establishment (.edu), a government body (.gov), the military (.mil), a network (.net), or a nonprofit organization (.org).

A domain name is the unique name of a computer on the Internet that distinguishes it from the other systems on the network.
In short, a domain name is nothing more than an alias for a numeric web address. Each web site on the internet has a numeric address that functions like coordinates on a map. Instead of pointing to a geographic location on earth, these numeric addresses, called IP addresses, point to a geographical location on the Internet. Computers have no problems with locating and remembering numeric addresses. In contrast, most humans have trouble remembering long, complicated sequences of numbers. So, to make surfing the web easier, the domain name system was invented. This system allows people to use easy to remember names for web sites instead of those number sequences.
An IP address expressed in letters instead of numbers, usually reflecting the name of the business or organization represented by the web site. Domain names were created because these descriptive addresses are much easier to remember and recognize than a group of numbers in an IP address.
The code for the country or type of internet connection a user comes from, such as '.com' '.gov' '.au' '.uk' .
A unique series of alphanumeric characters separated by periods, in the form of domain.com that is an address of a computer network connection.
An internet address of an organization is known as domain name of that organization.
The unique name that identifies an Internet site, separated by periods, and generally composed of two or more parts, such as sco.com. You can get a good idea of the type of organization and even location from the name. Some of the more common are: .edu (education), .gov (government), .com (commercial), and .net (network). Geographical domains are also used, such as .uk (United Kingdom), and .au (Australia). Domain names are best read from right to left, showing the top level domains, sub-domains, host name(s), and finally user name.
A combination of a host name and a domain with one period between them. For example, the host name VMD combines with the domain STERLING.COM to produce VMD.STERLING.COM, the domain name.
A domain name is the way to identify and locate an address on the Internet. The domain name is used to send e-mail, make FTP requests, etc. Before any message is sent on the Internet, the domain name is converted internally to a numerical address, an Internet protocol address, which is the what computers on the Internet deal with directly.

For example, while www.whitehouse.gov and www.whitehouse.gov/omb are both in the same site or domain, www.usda.gov and www.nal.usda.gov are not in the same site or domain in that one is registered as a primary domain and the other as a secondary domain.
The name by which a domain is known to the network.
Second Level of the domain name space. For example, the domain name for USA Today Online is usatoday.com. If you type usatoday.com in the location or address area on your browser, you will be connected directly to USA Today Online. A site does not have to have its own domain name. Here, you use AlaWeb's Network to host your web site and thus our domain name is included in the Internet address (URL) of your home page: http://www.alaweb.com/~yourusername. The main top level domains consist of com, org, net, edu and gov

Just like people, web sites need to have names so an Internet visitor can find them. Our domain name is Fisheyesoup.com. A domain name on the Internet is purchased thru a domain name registrar. There are over 50 registrars. Webmasters notify the registrar what server computer will host the the domain name and web contents. Fisheyesoup.com can register a domain name for a member. Please email or call us for more information.
A domain name is used to identify computers as belonging to a particular organization. Domain names are hierarchical in nature, with each level in the hierarchy being separated from other levels with a period (pronounced "dot").

The company you registered it with in the first place may, however, make a charge for transferring - you would have to check with them.*Please obtain confirmation from us before transferring.
People are good at using words and names, and computers can handle numbers. To make it easy for people to use the computers on the Internet, domain names were invented. For example, let's look at Yahoo!'s webpage. Either the IP address or Domain Name would work. Which would be easier for you to remember? IP Address----------Domain Name 64.23.13.209--www.anonymize.net There are different levels of domain names: Top level, fixed, describes a category of institution: COM: Commercial EDU: Educational GOV: Government MIL: Military government NET: Changeover paths ORG: Non-profit XX: Two letter country codes Second level domains, usually represent a whole organization.

A fully qualified domain name, or FQDN, is a unique address that identifies a computer that is connected to the internet. Often the computer is a server which holds a web site. An example of a FQDN is: serverworld.co.uk This address contains a top level domain (TLD) name, which is the suffix on the right, the "co.uk". Others are "com", "gov" and "edu". The internet is divided into several domains with the purpose of helping in the accurate delivery of information throughout the internet. Back
A unique name that identifies an Internet site. A domain name points always to one specific server while this server may host many domain names.

If there are more names that you wish to point to the same web site (essentially multiple addresses to the same house), we will accommodate that as well, though there may be an additional fee. For example, korora.com, korora.net and korora.org all point to this site.
This is the unique name that identifies an Internet site. Domain Names always have 2 or more parts, separated by dots. Â Technically, the domain name is a name that identifies an IP address. To most of us, it simply means www.yourname.com. Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, web servers depend on a Domain Name System (DNS) to translate domain names into IP addresses. Simply stated, domain names allow people to find your web site by name rather than by its numerical (IP) address.
A Web site or URL address.
A unique name that identifies a Web site. A domain name acts as a permanent Web address and provides a professional, prestigious Web presence. Compare these two URLs: 1.http://www.anywebhost.com/members/yourwebpage 2. http://www.yourname.com In the first URL, the domain name "anywebhost.com" is owned by someone else. If you moved your business Web site to another Web host, you'd need a new URL--and you'd have to notify your customers of your new address. The second URL contains an example of a custom domain name that you own: "yourname.com." If you ever move your site, your address will stay the same.
The unique address or URL of a web site - barclays.co.uk is a domain name. The .co.uk section specifies the type of organisation involved. In the case of Barclays, .co.uk refers to a commercial organisation in the UK. In reality, every computer on the Internet has a numerical address such as 10.200.300.40. This acts as the base of every domain name but these are considered difficult to remember so words are used instead.
A name that identifies a server on the Internet. A domain name is separated by periods. The following domain names can be located on the same machine, but they have independent names because of their different purposes. www.servername.com WWW site ftp.servername.com FTP site A domain name refers to a specific IP address.

The term “Domain Name” shall mean that unique alphanumeric name by which a Web Page is known.
Assigned by an organization called InterNIC, this is a unique address on the Internet. In an E-mail address, it is the part that follows the "@" sign; in a World Wide Web address, it's the part that follows (usually, but not always) www. For instance, if you have a Web page on Quid'·nunc, it would be at www.quidnunc.net/~yourpage, unless you paid for your own domain name, in which case it would be www.yourpage.net.

The name used to access your site through the WWW usually ending in .com, .org, .net etc.
A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet. For example, the domain name www.fidnet.com locates an Internet address for "fidnet.com" at Internet point 216.229.64.70 and a particular host server named "www". The "com" part of the domain name reflects the purpose of the organization or entity (in this example, "commercial") and is called the top-level domain name. The "fidnet" part of the domain name defines the organization or entity and, together with the top-level, is called the second-level domain name. The second-level domain name maps to and can be thought of as the "readable" version of the Internet address.
Name of the network connection used by DNS that defines the owner of that organization in a hierarchical format: server.organization.type. For example, www.whitehouse.gov identifies the Web server at the White House, which is part of the U.S. government. In an e-mail address, the domain name is located after the "@" sign.
a name that identifies an organisation's address on the internet, either a website address (the domain name follows the 'www') or an email address (the domain name follows the '@' symbol in the email address).

Common suffixes include: edu - educational institutions com - commercial businesses org - nonprofit organizations gov - government agencies mil - military
Every computer on the Internet is identified by a number - called an IP number (IP stands for Internet Protocol). Because it is difficult for people to remember numbers the computers can also be given names - the names are called Domain Names. The Internet uses the Domain Name System (together with IP number system) to provide addresses. Each internet site has its own unique name. They may appear confusing initially, however, you can often tell quite a lot about who or what you are connecting to from the address. For example: The "top level" - the last part , always two or three letters, such as .com .net .org .gov are used in the USA and in that order represent commercial enterprizes, non-profit organisations, network providers and Federal Government. The letters uk indicates that the site is in the United Kingdom and every country has its own code - au - Australia, ca Canada, de Germany, fr France (they are not always used).
a name that identifies one or more IP addresses (for example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a doze IP addresses). Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top-level (TLD) domain it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example

A Domain Name is the unique "official" name of a network on the Internet. Domain names always have at least two parts: a domain identifier and a domain category. For BellSouth.net, for example, the domain identifier is "BellSouth." The domain category is "net." Domain categories identify what type of institution a network represents. The following domain categories are used: Domain Category What It Represents com A commercial institution edu An educational institution gov A government institution mil A military site net A gateway or administrative host for a network org Private organizations that don't fit in the other domain categories. You've probably noticed that the domain name appears in a lot of Internet related addresses. For example, it appears in URLs for Web sites (www.bellsouth.net), as well as the e-mail addresses for individual users at an Internet site or network (
[email protected]).
A name used to find resources on the Internet. Example: Lyris.com.
Domain names take the form of gwi.net or netscape.com. You need to register for a name if you wish to have a unique identity for you Internet services such as mail and the web.

Some domains use a geographical notation too (e.g., companyname.com.uk would refer to a company with a server based in the United Kingdom).
The company, individual, or organization "name" you use to access a Web site, e.g. www.tq6.com.

Whereas an Internet address is made up of numbers (e.g. 124.2.35.6) and therefore difficult to remember, a domain name (e.g. company.co.uk) is made up of meaningful words. A domain name could be anything you like, for example, your own business name. Using a domain name makes for a memorable e-mail address, and if you have webspace, your website address (URL) will include your domain name (www.company.co.uk).

Domain names are registered by accredited registrars of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). In the 1980s, seven Top Level Domains, or TLDs were created. They are: .com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, and .org. Domain names may be registered in three of these (.com, .net, and .org) without restriction; the other four have limited purposes. Seven new TLDs were introduced in 2001 and 2002. Four of the new TLDs (.biz, .info, .name, and .pro) are unsponsored. The other three new TLDs (.aero, .coop, and .museum) are sponsored.

A domain name is much like a trademark or a license. It allows people to find a website by name instead of by number (IP address), thus providing the website a more professional look. Plus, domain names are like fingerprints-there can only be one of any domain name in the world. If "http://www.myweb.com" is already registered by another company, then you must find a name that is not yet registered. Domain names can be 67 characters long in total. The length includes the ".com" at the end but does not include the "http://www" at the beginning. See Also: IP ADDRESS, SUBDOMAIN

A domain name is the core of your company's online identity. It is the address your customers will use to find information about your products and services on the web. Your domain name is yours entirely because once registered, no other party may use that identity online in that Top Level Domain. Domain Names always have 2 or more parts, separated by dots. The part on the left is the most specific, and the part on the right is the most general. A domain name can simply be thought of as your Internet address. The Internet uses Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate other computers. Internet users would typically have a hard time remembering these long strings of numbers to find sites. Domain names were developed to allow users to name these (IP) addresses with easy to remember names or phrases. Our domain name - Domain Bank.com - for example is part of the Internet address for Domain Bank.

These names are registered with Network Solutions/ InterNIC for $70 for 2 years, and are very similar to personalized license plates. Once you own the name, it is yours for as long as you pay the fee.
An addressing construct used for identifying and locating computers on the Internet. Domain names provide a system of easy-to-remember Internet addresses, which can be translated by the Domain Name System (DNS) into the numeric addresses (Internet Protocol (IP) numbers) used by the network. A domain name is hierarchical and often conveys information about the type of entity using the domain name. A domain name is simply a label that represents a domain, which is a subset of the total domain name space. Domain names at the same level of the hierarchy must be unique. Thus, for example, there can be only one .AG at the top-level of the hierarchy, and only one NIC.AG at the next level of the hierarchy.

A domain name ( the text name like yourwebsite.com.au) is the name that identifies the numeric IP address of a computer on the Internet. Each domain name is unique.
When the keepers of the Internet realized that the number of computers on the network was getting too much to handle with simple computer names, they came up with a new addressing system. They added the school, organization, or company name and a domain identifier to tell if it was commercial (com), educational (edu), or something else (org, etc.). The domain for the PBS Web server is "pbs.org" and the full address "www.pbs.org" is the domain name. Other countries have an additional identifier to tell which country it comes from - for example, ".uk" means it's located in the United Kingdom.

Even though the media has made it seem like the internet is only 'dotcom' (name.com); 'dotnet' (name.net) and 'dotorg' (name.org) extensions are available as well. Recently a variety of other TLDs became available such as .info and .us. I always recommend that my clients register domain names that are not homophonous. General rule of thumb: if you can't say it over the telephone without spelling it, choose another domain name.
