A domain name is the only unique address that identifies a website on the Internet, such as .com. It is a simple and understandable way to access a web page, instead of having to use the IP address, which is a string of numbers that identifies each server on the network.
How does it work?
- User requestWhen someone enters a domain name in their browser (for example, microsoft.com), the browser sends a request to locate that domain on the Internet.
- Domain Name System (DNS)DNS is a system that translates domain names into IP addresses. It is used as an address storage tool for the Internet platform. First, the browser queries the nearest DNS server to look up the IP address corresponding to the required domain.
- Web serverThe browser can connect to the specific server where the website is hosted via the IP address, requesting the content that corresponds to the domain name.
- Page loadingUltimately, the server responds by sending the files (HTML, images, etc.), and the browser displays the web page.
Parts of a Domain Name
A domain name frequently to composes from multiple components:
- Subdomain (optional): The site web or blog can indicate a section or service at a domain.
- Second level domain: See treats from principal name of the company, known as Microsoft
- Top Level Domain (TLD): See is about the extension at the end, as.com, .org, or .es, that defines the category or region at the end.
Domain names are administered by entities such as ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), which coordinate the global system and allow users to register unique domains.
