What is a domain name?
A domain name is a string of text that maps to an alphanumeric IP address,
used to access a website from client software. In plain English, a domain name is the text that a
user types into a browser window to reach a particular website. For instance, the domain name for Google is ‘google.com’.
The actual address of a website is a complex numerical IP address (e.g. 192.0.2.2), but thanks to DNS, users are able to
enter human-friendly domain names and be routed to the websites they are looking for.
This process is known as a DNS
(Domain Name system)lookup.
Who manages domain names?
Domain names are all managed by domain registries, which delegate the reservation of domain names to registrars.
Anyone who wants to create a website can register a domain name with a registrar,
and there are currently over 300 million
registered domain names.

What is the difference between a domain name and a URL?
A uniform resource locator (URL), sometimes called a web address, contain
s the domain name of a site as well as other information, including the protocol and the path. For example, in the URL ‘https://cloudflare.com/learning/’,
‘cloudflare.com’
is the domain name, while ‘https’ is the protocol and ‘/learning/’ is the path to a specific page on the website.
What are the parts of a domain name?
Domain names are typically broken up into two or three parts, each separated by a dot. When read right-to-left,
the identifiers in domain names go from most general to most specific. The section to the right of the last dot in a domain name
is the top-level domain (TLD).
These include the ‘generic’ TLDs such as ‘.com’, ‘.net’, and ‘.org’,
as well as country-specific TLDs like ‘.uk’ and ‘.jp’.
