About Domain Names

All computers connected to the Internet, whether permanently via a leased line or temporarily via a dial-up connection, have a unique number which identifies them. This unique number is called an IP (Internet Protocol) address - makes it possible to ensure that the right information goes to the right computer. Information may include e-mail messages, web pages, file transfers and more besides. An IP address looks like this:- 193.35.42.11 - four groups of numbers, each group having a value in the range 0 to 255.

While this number is essential to the computers directing information around the Internet, it is by no means convenient for humans who tend to prefer names to numbers. Text names (or 'domain names') were introduced - easy-to-remember addresses which make the process of getting around the Internet less of a headache. A system called Domain Name Service (DNS) converts the domain name (eg, domain.co.uk) into its corresponding IP address (eg, 183.114.48.2) and vice versa.

Domain Name - Not a Web Address

A domain name is not the same as a web or email address, although you may choose to use your domain for this purpose, eg domain.co.uk is a domain name whereas http://www.domain.co.uk is a web address and info@domain.co.uk is an email address running under the domain domain.co.uk.
