A domain, or domain name, is the address of a website on the Internet. Just like a physical address, a domain lets users reach a site easily. For example, www.korayteknik.com is a domain name, and this address points to the website hosted on the server behind it.
🌐 Technical Definition of a Domain
-
Every website actually works with an IP address (for example
192.168.1.1). -
But IP addresses are hard for people to remember. That is why domain names are used instead of these IPs.
-
The domain you type into your browser is translated into the corresponding IP address by the DNS system, which directs you to the right server.
🧱 Structure of a Domain
A domain usually has two main parts:
-
Second-level domain:

Top-level domain (TLD):
