What is a domain name?
Domain names are the address we type into the browser to visit a particular website. But what is a domain name, really? A domain name is sometimes confused with a URL, but there is a really big difference.What is a URL?
Uniform Resource Locator AKA (URL) refers to the entire address used to visit a website, including the colons and slashes. The URL address includes the domain name. For example,The URL for the 1WEB1HOST website would be http://www.1web1host.com. The URL contains the "hypertext transfer protocol" AKA (http), this tells the browsers' that you are using a domain name instead of an IP Address. Which is followed by the domain name itself (www.1web1host.com. or 1web1host.com Both variations can be used). This name points to a server where the website is hosted. Particular files associated with this name can be found on and accessed on the same server.What are top level and second level domain names?
(.com) was the original domain type to be introduced to the public, and is considered a top level domain AKA (TLD) Top level domains include any domain that contain only one suffix – for example; .org, .info, .biz and so on.Second level domains AKA 2LDs are domain names that contain another level after the .com or .co suffix. For example; .com.us. is a second level domain style as it contains an additional suffix after the .com that shows the website originates in the US.
