WHAT IS A DOMAIN NAME??

A domain name is a unique address on the web or call it the Internet world.
Just like you have an address to the place you live, domain name is a analogous to your home address, only that it is your address on the web.

Every time you type in a web address or send an email, you are using domains controlled by an individual person or a group or an organization. Domains are deceptively simple. In fact very simple to make out. You may recognize them as the characters that follow the @ in the email address. The actual structure is more complex than it may appear on the surface, and it may be used in different ways.

Lets take an example:

Registered domain with a registrar: exam.com

Email: yourname@exam.com

Domain name for a website: www.exam.com

URL(Uniform Resource Locator): http://www.exam.com/index.html

The domain you use is your address to the web.It functions in ways similar to snail mail delivered to a mailbox at a physical address.
