In the context of the internet, a domain is a unique name that identifies a website or a computer network. A domain name typically consists of a string of characters followed by a top-level domain extension, such as .com, .org, .net, etc. For example, the domain name “google.com” identifies the website of the Google search engine. A domain name can be registered and owned by an individual, organisation, or business. It can be used for a variety of purposes: a website, e-mail hosting or other online services. Domain names are used to help users find and access websites and other online resources on the internet and can be used to create custom email addresses (e.g. lisa@watling.com) and other digital identities.
