Domain name
Domain name system
The term domain name has multiple related meanings:
A name that identifies a computer or computers on the internet. These names
appear as a component of a Web site's URL, e.g. www.preiumwebs.com. This type of
domain name is also called a hostname.
The product that Domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names
are often called registered domain names.
Names used for other purposes in the Domain Name System (DNS), for example the
special name which follows the @ sign in an email address, or the Top-level
domains like .com, or the names used by the Session Initiation Protocol (VoIP),
or DomainKeys.
They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as
"web addresses".
