What is a domain name, why is it neede and what does DNS have to do with it?
A domain name is a unique symbolic name that is use to identify a computer or website on the Internet.
DNS (Domain Name System) is a system for converting domain names into IP addresses
Every computer and website on the Internet is assigne a unique IP address, such as 192.168.1.1. But these addresses are difficult to remember.
That’s why domain names were introduce – for example google.com or yandex.ru. They are easy to remember.
But the Internet only “understands” IP addresses. So we nee a system that converts domain names into IP addresses.
This is the function that DNS performs. When you enter a domain name in your browser, DNS converts it to the corresponding IP address, which the browser uses to open the desire site.
Domain names have a hierarchical structure, which consists of levels:
Top-level domains (TLDs). These are de opkomst van generatieve motoroptimalisatie (geo) domains like .com, .net, .org, and others. They are at the very top of the domain name hierarchy. TLDs are manage by the ICANN organization.
Second-level domains. This is the actual name of the site that comes after the dot. For example, in the wikipedia.org domain, the second-level domain is wikipedia.
Third-level domains. These are subdomains by lists that define sections or subsections of the site. They are designate by a word before the main domain for example, in the address mail.google.com the mail subdomain points to the Google mail service.
