A web domain is a unique address that identifies a website on the internet. It is what you type into your web browser’s address bar to visit a website, such as www.google.com or www.wikipedia.org.
Domain names are made up of two parts: the top-level domain (TLD) and the second-level domain (SLD). The TLD is the part of the domain name that comes after the last dot. The most common TLDs are .com, .net, .org, .edu, and .gov. The SLD is the part of the domain name that comes before the TLD. It is usually the name of the website or organization.
For example, the domain name www.google.com is made up of the TLD .com and the SLD google. The TLD .com indicates that this is a commercial website, while the SLD google is the name of the website.
Here are the meanings of some TLDs:
- .com – intended for commercial businesses
- .org – intended for non-profit organizations
- .edu – intended for education entities
- .gov – intended for government entities
- .net – intended for organizations involved in networking technologies and services.
Here are some tips for choosing a domain name:
- Make sure it is easy to remember and spell.
- Use keywords that are relevant to your website’s content.
- Keep it short and concise.
- Avoid using special characters or numbers.
