What is domain name ?

Domain Name is the address of the website and with the help of this users reach your site. For example, you can see our own website. The name of our website ie domain name is https://thewebblogger.com/. Similarly there are many domains. You have typed something in google or any other search engine and as soon as you click on one of the posts coming in the search results, you reach It has a website. Following that, if you enjoy the material in it, you either bookmark it or memorise its site name (Domain Name).

After this, whenever you need that information, you will search that domain in google and directly reach its site. You can also use Google to search for our website’s name. After that you have to click on the first result that will appear.After that you will reach our site. Similarly, friends, a domain name plays a big role in blogging. For your knowledge, there are situations when you will encounter two websites with the same domain name. But their extension name will be different like our site name is google.com and google.in here website name is same but their extension is different.

How Domain Name Works?

Whatever the domain name of your site is, it is completely connected with your site and all the data of your site is stored in a server. Domain is associated with the “IP Address” of that server. Whenever you type any domain or your own domain directly in the search bar, then the IP of your server points to your data. Due to which all the files of that domain ie that site opens in front of you. This is how domain names work.

How many types of Domain Name are there?

There are two main categories of domains: Top-Level Domains (TLDs) and Subdomains.

TLDs sit at the very end of a web address, following the dot (.). They categorize websites based on various factors like purpose, location, or organization.

Subdomains come before the main domain name and TLD. They further categorize a website within the main domain. For instance, in “mail.google.com,” “mail” is the subdomain indicating the email service within the [invalid URL removed] website.

thewebblogger.com There are two words here, one is thewebblogger and the other is .com, now you must have understood that what is the domain name? The part that has thewebblogger you can make up your mind but the word after that you can’t make up your mind you can only choose.

It is also known as the domain name extension. When you buy domain name or hosting, you are given a chance to choose the extension according to your own and domain names are not of only one type, they are of many types like-
