What is a Domain Name

A domain name is your web address on the Internet (eg www.design-on-line.co.uk) and no two sites can ever have the same domain name

The Technical side of a domain name is a way of identifying and locating computers on the Internet. Computers use Internet Protocol (IP) address (e.g. 194.121.202.105) to locate each other on the Internet and domain names were developed to let us use easily remembered words and phrases to identify these Internet addresses
Each domain name replaces a string of meaningless numbers (IP address) with a simple word or expression
