Domain
Domain – (aka domain name) A user-friendly identifier that locates a particular website on the Internet. Your domain name server translates the request from the visitor into an IP address which is used to retrieve the requested page.
Example of domain: www.niceguyseo.com
“www†tells you that the page is located on the world wide web. “Niceguyseo†is the name of the company, and “.com†is a top-level domain that identifies what type of organization you are dealing with. In this case, “.com†signifies a commercial entity. There are other top-level domains, such as “.org†(organization), “.edu†(education), “.gov†(government), etc. Other two-letter abbreviations may signify geographical areas (delirious.co.uk = United Kingdom).
