What is a domain name | 123-reg

http://www.123-reg.co.uk/ In this tutorial we're going to look at the relationship between domain names and website addresses. First of all, what is a domain name? Domain names are made up of 2 parts, the domain name and the domain name extension. To help us understand the role domain names play, let's take a look at a website address www.website.com The universal 'www dot' prefix represents the World Wide Web. This is followed by 'website' (the domain name) and ' dot com' (the domain name extension). Together these 3 elements form the website address, otherwise known as a URL. Typing a URL into your web browser allows you to view the website to which the address belongs. A URL will appear in your web browser address bar whenever you are connecting, or connected, to a website. Top tip website addresses can often look quite complicated. This is because 'www.website.com' is only an address where web files are stored. So when you see an address like 'www.website.com/news', 'www.website.com' has a file called 'news' stored on it. In the next tutorial we'll look at how domain name extensions work. http //www.123-reg.co.uk/
