A domain name is the web address that users type into their web browser to access a website. It is important because it serves as the online identity and the essence of a website or online project.
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.
