Most websites have a domain name, it’s the address you type into a web browser to reach a website, for example the domain name of this website is thisismyurl.com. You’ll notice that domain names have two parts, the first is a customized name (thisismyurl) and the second is an extension such as .com, .net, .org or .ca

Domain names are used to help make your website easier to find by visitors and can be anything you like, if you can get the name.

A domain name is simple a user friendly way of translating the location of your hosted website for the general public, much as a street address tells customers where you are located without having to make them know your latitude and longitude.

This post came from an archive of my older website, since then I’ve posted a lot more, so please take the time to read some of my other recent work.
