A domain name is the easy-to-read address people type to reach a website. It is like the name on a street sign that helps visitors find the right building.

For example, a company may use its name followed by an ending such as “.com” as its domain. Behind the scenes, the internet uses number-based addresses to connect that name to the right server.

Choose a name that is easy to remember and spell. A domain name is the website's address, not the pages or files found after the first slash.
