What is a domain?

Domain is the unique name of the site. They are created in order to facilitate the process of finding an Internet resource. Each domain is assigned a unique device number in the network – an IP address that points to the server on which the site is located.

The domain of each Internet resource consists of a certain number of levels. For example, maps.google.com consists of the following levels:

• Com – First level (top), domain zone. You cannot create it yourself, just choose from the available options;
• Google is the second level (often called the main one). It consists of a combination of letters and numbers, which are the name of the Internet resource;
• Maps is the third level (subdomain or subdomain).

You cannot buy a domain once and use it as long as you like. It can only be rented for a specific period. In most cases it is one year, renewable.

When registering a domain, users are prompted to select a domain name group. It can be geographic (.ua – Ukraine, .ru – Russia, .dk – Denmark) or thematic, indicating the direction of the site (.com – commercial, .fitness – for gyms and fitness clubs, .guitars – for music stores or music information portals).
