 What is a domain name? A domain name is a unique address that directs a
user's web browser to the location where your website is hosted. Some examples are
"google.com" and "pbs.org".
What is the Difference Between a Domain Name and Website Hosting?
It is important to recognize the distinction between domain names and website hosting. A domain name is simply that -- a name -- that serves as an easy way for people to remember how to locate your website and/or send you e-mail. However, it alone does not provide you with the ability to maintain a website. For that, you need
website
hosting, where you receive an allotted amount of space on a web server that is always connected to the Internet in exchange for a monthly fee.
What Kinds of Domain Names Are Available? A domain name is comprised of two
parts -- the unique name (i.e. google), and the Top Level Domain (TLD) ending (i.e.
.com). The most common TLDs are .com, .net, and .org.
