What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is a public website address, and it’s what you type in a browser’s URL search bar to access any website on the internet.

Domain names are the user-friendly version of what the computer understands when the user makes a domain name search online. Every computer using the internet has an assigned IP address. Each computer on this network can communicate with other computers on the internet. An IP address is a series of unique numbers that would be very hard to memorize. Instead of having to commit thousands of IP codes to memory to search for websites, we humans use domain names. They allow us to create unique digital addresses that can be easily typed and searched.
