Q:

What is a domain name?
A:
A domain name is simply a label (i.e. webs-a-gogo.com) used to provide symbolic representations (common & recognizable names) to a numeric internet address or IP. This allows any resource (e.g., website) to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet, in effect changing the IP address. This translation from domain names to IP addresses (and vice versa) is accomplished with the global facilities of Domain Name System (DNS).

By allowing the use of unique alphabetical addresses instead of numeric ones, domain names allow Internet users to more easily find and communicate with web sites and any other IP-based communications services.
