Q. What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is a unique name that can be entered into a browser to resolve the numeric address of your web site or email server. A domain name tells people how to find your homepage on the Internet. Your hosting provider assigns each domain name to a numerical IP address. It takes the form of a name of your choice coupled with an extension relating to the type of site. Current gTLD extensions are .AERO, .ARPA, .ASIA, .BIZ, .CAT, .COM, .COOP, .EDU, .GOV, .INFO, .INT, .JOBS, .MIL, .MOBI, .MUSEUM, .NAME, .NET, .ORG, .PRO, .TEL and .TRAVEL. People remember names better than numbers, but computers translate www.yourname.com into IP address numbers.
