Domain Name FAQs

What is a domain name?

A domain name is a unique and human-readable identifier that is used to locate and access websites on the internet. It is essentially the address of a website, and it allows people to easily remember and find a website by typing a name into their web browser.

Domain names consist of two parts: the name itself, which is chosen by the website owner, and the domain extension, which usually indicates the type of organization or the country associated with the website. For example, in the domain name “inmotionhosting.com”, “inmotionhosting” is the name and “.com” is the domain extension.
