What
is a domain name system (DNS)?
Because
the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server
require a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP
addresses.
Domain
Name System, or DNS, is the most recognized system for assigning addresses to
Internet web servers (aka "Internet hosts"). Somewhat like
international phone numbers, the domain name system helps to give every
Internet server a memorable and easy-to-spell address. Simultaneously, the
domain names keep the really technical IP address invisible for most viewers...
Domain
names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain
name ikedeck.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used
in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL
http://www.where2register.com/domain-registration/index.php, the domain name is
where2register.com.
Every
domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs
to.
There
are many types of such domains. For example:
gov
- Government agencies
edu
- Educational institutions
org
- Organizations (nonprofit)
mil
– Military
com
- commercial business
net
- Network organizations
ca
– Canada
th
– Thailand

How
Domain Names Are Spelled:
1)
Domain names are organized right to left, with general descriptors to the
right, and specific descriptors to the left. It is like family surnames to the
right, specific person names to the left. These descriptors are called
"domains".
2)
The "top level domains" (TLD, or parent domain) is to the far right
of a domain name. Mid level domains (children and grandchildren) are in the
middle. The machine name, often "www", is to the far left.
3)
Levels of domains are separated by periods ("dots").
The
difference between a Domain Name and URL
To
be technically correct, a domain name is commonly part of a larger Internet
address called a "URL". A URL goes into much more detail than domain
name, providing much more information, including the specific page address,
folder name, machine name, and protocol language.
Example
Uniform Resource Locator pages, with their domain names bolded:
http://www.where2register.com/domain-registration/domain-registration-price.php
http://www.ikedeck.com/p/advertise.html
http://www.ikedeck.com/p/blog-page_21.html

The
difference between a Domain Name and an IP
Address
In
the end, a domain name is intended to be a friendly and memorable
"nickname" only. The true technical address of a web host is its
Internet Protocol Address, or IP Address.
