A domain name is the address of a website on the internet, allowing users to access it easily without needing to remember the numerical IP address of the server where it is hosted. It’s essentially a recognizable and human-readable name used for navigating the web.
Examples:
- google.com
- freedomwebradio.gr
- best-radio.eu
Key Components of a Domain:
- Domain Name: The unique part of the website's address (e.g., "freedomwebradio").
- Extension (TLD): The suffix indicating the type or location of the domain, such as:
- .com (general/commercial)
- .gr (for Greece)
- .org (for organizations)
- .eu (for the European Union)
How It Works
When you enter a domain name into a browser, a DNS (Domain Name System) translates it into the corresponding IP address of the server, directing the user to the correct website.
Domains are typically registered through a domain registrar and require renewal after a set period of time.
