In computing and telecommunication in general, a domain is a sphere of knowledge identified by a name.The term domain name has multiple related meanings:

  • A Domain Name is a unique name that you choose for your web site. All websites are identified only by their names called as domain names.
  • A name that identifies a computer or computers on the Internet. These names appear as a component of a Web site’s URL, e.g. solsearch.net. This type of domain name is also called a hostname.
  • The product that domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names are often called registered domain names.
  • They are referred as “web addresses”.


Domain registration is available to the public via various registrars. Fees and services vary from company to company, but the process is generally inexpensive. Before a domain registration can be approved, the new name must be checked against existing names in the DNS database. The online registrar provides a field into which you can enter your desired name and extension that is, the letters that come after the dot (.) . Familiar hierarchies (extensions) are .com, .net, .org, .name, .info and .biz. If the name is not already taken, it is available for domain registration.
