What's a Domain?

What is a DOMAIN?

A domain name is a unique name that identifies an internet resource such as a website or the website address (name / address you type on the top address bar on your browser). It's basically the name of the website. The domain name is what is being sold.

What is a WEBSITE?

A website is a collection of web pages (documents that are accessed through the Internet), such as the one you're looking at now. A web page is what you see on the screen when you type in a web address, click on a link, or put a query in a search engine. A web page can contain any type of information, and can include text, photos, color, graphics, animation and sound. When someone gives you their web address, it generally takes you to their website's home page, which should introduce you to what that site offers in terms of information or other services. From the home page, you can click on links to reach other sections of the site. A website can consist of one page, or of tens of thousands of pages, depending on what the site owner is trying to accomplish. (For FREE Website Hosting and FREE designer layouts, go to Wix.com.)

What is a URL?

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and is used to specify addresses on the World Wide Web or the website address you type on the top address bar on your browser. The URL takes you the website page. A URL is the fundamental network identification for any resource connected to the web (e.g., hypertext pages, images, and sound files).

What is an IP Address aka Internet Protocol Address:

This number is an exclusive number all information technology devices use which identifies and allows them the ability to communicate with each other on a computer network.

There is a standard of communication which is called an Internet Protocol standard (IP). In laymans terms it is the same as your home address. In order for you to receive postal mail at home the sending party must have your correct mailing address (IP address) in your town (network) or you do not receive bills, pizza coupons, christmas gifts or your tax refund. The same is true for all equipment on the internet. Without this specific address, information cannot be received.

What is a DNS (Domain Name System)?

Is the most recognized system for assigning addresses to Internet web servers (aka "Internet hosts"). This allows the IP address to be translated to words. It is much easier for us to remember a word than a series of numbers. For example, it is much easier for you to remember a web address name such as CoolDomainsForSale.com than it is to remember 50.63.202.16 or in the case of email it is much easier to remember email@yourdomain.com than email@192.168.1.1

What is a Registrar?

A domain name registrar is an organization or commercial entity that manages the reservation of Internet domain names, such as the domains listed here. Examples of a Registrar company are companies such as Godaddy.com, Wix.com, Network Solutions.com and more.

Why Do People Visit Websites?

Generally, people look at websites for two primary reasons:

1. To find information they need:

This could be anything from a student looking for pictures of frogs for a school project, finding the latest stock quotes, to getting the address of the nearest Thai restaurant.

2. To complete a task:

Such as shopping, online banking, how to fix something, buy the latest best-seller, download a software program, or participate in an online discussion about a favorite hobby.

ABOUT CREATING A WEBSITE:

The main thing to remember is that a website is way of communication. When creating a website you're not creating the website for you, since you already know about the information or service you have to offer. You're creating the website for your visitors, so it should be well organized and information easy to find in a way that makes sense to your visitors. Since a website is a means of communication, its only effective when its message is received and understood by the intended user.
