A domain name is your website's address on the internet, like example.com
. It makes it easy for people to find your website without needing to remember a long IP address.
How it Works:
-
When someone enters your domain name in a browser, a DNS (Domain Name System) server translates the name into the IP address of your hosting server.
-
Then, your website files are fetched and shown to the user.
Think of a domain name as your home address, and web hosting as your actual house.
