Domain Name a unique name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For instance, the domain name hunkseo.com represents one IP address which is 69.80.229.130. Domain names are used in URLs (Universal Resource Locators) to identify particular Web pages. Every web site that we visit is stored under domain name.
Domain Names always have two or more parts, separated by dots like: hunkseo.com The first part on left (hunkseo) is most specific and the second part on right(.com) is usually general.
Hence in simple words we can say that Domain Names is an pointing/addressing system which enables websites on the web to be reached by simple names rather than by IP addresses or numbers which are difficult to remember.
Domain Names are of different type according to their use: .Com is the mostly used domain name type others include:
