A domain (or domain name) is the unique web address people use to access a website on the internet.
Example:
-
Domain Name:
google.com -
What it does: Points to Google’s website, so when you type it in your browser, you're taken to Google’s homepage.
Think of it like:
-
Your website is your house.
-
Your domain name is your street address.
-
The web hosting is the land your house sits on.
You need a domain name so people can find and access your website easily.
Structure of a Domain Name:
Where Do You Get a Domain?
You buy or register a domain with us. You usually pay annually to keep the domain active.
Key Notes:
-
Domains must be unique (no two websites can have the same domain).
-
You can link your domain to your web hosting provider so people see your website when they type it.
-
Domains can include keywords to help with branding or SEO (e.g.,
servers.co.tz).
