Dear Raisew,
A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet. Domain names are hostnames that identify Internet Protocol (IP) resources such as web sites. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS).
Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. They are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains com, net and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users that wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, run web sites, or create other publicly accessible Internet resources. The registration of these domain names is usually administered by domain name registrars who sell their services to the public.

Hi,

Domain is nothing but identical name for your website or business. Hope, this short answer will help you.

A very important point to bear in mind is that the name you choose is by no means the be all and end all in ranking highly in search engines; as mentioned it likely only plays a very small role in a ranking algorithm. Search engine companies are also very aware spammers use domain optimization as part of their strategy. However, in a highly competitive sector and all other things being equal, a little thought to domain name optimization just might give you an edge over your competitors.

thanks,

On the Internet, a domain consists of a set of network addresses. This domain is organized!

There is probably a DNS server within close geographic proximity to your access provider that maps the domain names in your Internet requests or forwards them to other servers in the Internet.

The term domain can refer either to a local subnetwork or to descriptors for sites on the Internet.

Domain names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages.
