Can anyone tell me what a domain name is?

A Domain name is a unique Internet address that provides unique identity to the registrant of the domain name. A domain name is the name of a website located at a numerical IP address (e.g.: 118.000.000.1). With the vast amounts of information on the Internet, a domain name is easier to remember than a long string of numbers.

A domain name is made up of two or more sections, separated by the period character - "." - referred to as "dots". The sections indicate a hierarchy in the Internet domains, with the highest level on the right.
For example, in "www.yourdomain.com": com is the highest level, or the Top Level Domain (TLD) your domain is called a Second Level Domain (SLD) www is a Third Level Domain One of the essential tools of any business these days is to have a professional web site.
