What is a domain?

When you want to visit a website, you usually type in its name, right? Well, that name is called a domain. It's like an address for the website, and it's much easier to remember than a long string of numbers.

A domain name is made up of two parts: the part that comes before the dot and the part that comes after it. The part before the dot usually represents the name of the website, while the part after the dot is called the top-level domain (TLD) and tells you what kind of website it is, like .com or .org.

For example, in the domain name "example.com," "example" is the website name and "com" is the TLD. When you type "example.com" into your browser, it sends a request to the server that hosts the website and displays the content on your screen.

To get a domain name, you usually go through a company called a domain name registrar. They help you buy and register your chosen domain name for a certain amount of time, usually between one to ten years. After that time is up, you need to renew your domain name if you want to keep using it.

So, in summary, a domain is like an address for a website, and it's made up of two parts: the website name and the TLD.
