What Is a Domain?

A domain name is a unique identifier that defines an area of control or authority on the Internet. It serves various purposes in networking and application-specific naming. In general, a domain name identifies a network domain or represents an Internet Protocol (IP) resource. This can include personal computers accessing the Internet, servers hosting websites, or the websites themselves, as well as other services communicated over the Internet.

Understanding the role of a domain is essential for establishing an online presence. It not only helps users find your website but also plays a crucial role in branding and marketing your business.

Purchased a Hosting Plan—Now What Do I Do?

Additionally, take advantage of the tools available in your hosting account to build your website. Consider using a website builder or a content management system (CMS) like WordPress to create and manage your site easily.
