A. A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet, for example: www.owebmaster.com Web browsers and servers work together through the hosts to call up web pages by using the Internet protocol (IP) address that is registered along with a domain name. The browser finds a page based on its IP address, also known as its URL (uniform resource locator). All servers on the Internet also have domain names, which are registered to a particular IP address. Domain names are easier to remember than the numerical locator that makes up the actual IP address. Each Domain is actually a three-part designation: the host name (www, for World Wide Web), the domain name (affinity), and the top-level domain name, .com, which indicates a commercial or business site. Other domains include .edu, for education-oriented sites; .org, for organizations; .net, for some specialized Internet and computing sites; .gov, for government sites; and .mil, for military sites.
