A domain name is the human-readable address of a website, such as “example.com.” It is used to identify and locate a website on the internet.
When you type a domain name into your browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS (Domain Name System) server. The DNS server then translates the domain name into the IP address of the server where the website is hosted. Your browser then uses the IP address to connect to the server and load the website.
Domain names are unique and must be registered with a domain name registrar. There are many different domain name registrars available, and the cost of a domain name varies depending on the registrar and the domain name extension (.com, .net, .org, etc.).
