a) What is a domain name?

A domain name is a unique identifier for a website, consisting of a name and an extension. It serves as the physical address of the website, allowing users to easily find it without remembering the Internet Protocol address.

b) How does it work?

A domain name is associated with its IP address and the web server that hosts the website. When a user enters a domain name into a browser, a global network of Domain Name System servers finds the associated IP address and web server. Then, the matching server retrieves the requested data from the domain’s hosting service and converts it into a web page for the user.

c) What is the benefit of having a domain name?

Domain Names

A domain name is a crucial element in establishing a professional and trustworthy online presence for businesses and professionals. It helps build trust and credibility with audiences, allowing for a strong online brand presence. A well-chosen domain name with relevant keywords can improve search engine rankings, increasing visibility and traffic, which are essential for online success.
