What Is A Domain Name?

It seems like people have many questions for me when they find out that I do a lot of my work on the internet. People like to ask me, what is a domain name? Simply put, it is a way to translate the numerical internet addresses into an easy to remember name. You can choose from many different suffixes, also called top level domains, when you make your name. The five main suffixes are .com, .biz, .info, .net and .org. There are also suffixes available for different countries.

A good place to go in order to find many informative web hosting hosting articles that cover many of the basics is the Web Hosting Bluebook. They review a lot of different web hosts and also provide a lot of good information you need in order to know more about web hosting.
