What is a domain name?
A domain name is the human-readable address people use to visit a website, such as example.com.
Quick answer
A domain name replaces the numerical server address with a name that is easier to remember and share. It usually includes a chosen name and an extension such as .com, .in or .org.
How it works
When someone enters a domain, the Domain Name System directs the browser to the correct hosting server. Domain settings can also connect business email, verification records and security services.
Why it matters for a business
A suitable domain improves brand recognition, professionalism and trust. It also gives the business control over its website address and branded email accounts.
