<seo title="What is domain" metakeywords="What is domain,domain" metadescription="What is domain" /><div align="justify">Many people often mix up two terms: '''domain''' and '''site'''. We'll now try to explain this.

'''So what is a domain?'''
'''A domain name''' uniquely identifies a website. Typing a domain name (also called a URL) into your browser allows you to visit that site.

One unique domain name can be used as a company's web address and for its email addresses.

'''A typical domain''' name looks like this: www.google.com. The '''"www."''' means this computer is connected to the World Wide Web; the middle part of a domain name is usually the name of the company that owns the computer — in our case, '''google'''; the final part of a domain name tells you what kind of site is served by this machine — in this case, '''.com''' means this is a commercial site.
