What are domain names?

Dialing up Your Website.

Domain names are nicknames for your website. Remember in the old days how telephone numbers were city names and a 2 digit number? Similarly, a domain name resolves back to your website's IP Address.

When you buy a domain registration, you are registering your nickname with the main directory that knows where your server is,and points the traffic that way.
