What Is a Domain Name, and How Do You Go About Getting One?
Good question, simple put it is a way for humans to communicate with networked computer system in the internet name space. Computer systems uses what one would call an ip-address e.g. (10.1.1.1) to communicate with each other, humans uses names (domain-names) to communicate with computers or to tell which computer is which, meaning each computer have a name associated with their ip-address.
Now a domain-name system (DNS) manages the ip-address (10.1.1.1) to domain-name relationship for all computer on the internet both physical and virtual by resolving each request made by users. Example when you click on a hyperlink (a website address name) like the one you click on to get to this article, you made a request the nearest DNS server which resolve that name to an ip-address so that the computer system knows where direct you. Humans uses the name and the computer uses the ip-address numbers.
