A domain name is a name that identifies 1 or more ip adresses.
Each domain name represents about a dozen ip adresses.
Domain names are used in Urls to identify particular webpages.
Eg. in the URl http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.
Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to,E.g.
gov
edu
org
mil
com
net
ea

The internet is based on ip adresses not domain names, every web server requires a domain name system (DNS) server to translate domain names into ip adresses.
