Easiest way, possibly, to understand a domain name is to have a look at your email address. Let’s see some examples of email address:
Example 1: [email protected]
You notice the “gmail.com” that comes after the ‘@’ symbol? That’s a domain name. i.e. “gmail.com” is a domain name.
Example 2: [email protected].
Here, “outlook.com” is what comes after the “@” symbol. So, “outlook.com” is a domain name.
Example 3: [email protected]
Here, “london.ac.uk” is a domain name.
Example 4: [email protected].
I suppose, you could already identify the domain name from the above email address.
If you want to have an online presence, first thing you need to do is to get a domain name. How to get a domain name or where to get one, we will get into that on another post. Hope, by now, you have a better understanding on what a domain name is.
