What is a domain name ?

domain tlds registered .co.uk .com .net .org .eu .biz A domain name is a convenient way of finding your way around the Internet. It is part of a system called Domain Name Service (DNS) which provides you with an easy-to-remember word rather than a complex numeric IP address. The DNS actually converts the domain name (e.g. othellonames.net) into an Internet Protocol (IP) number (e.g. 80.76.216.5) and vice versa.
