Simply expressed, the name of a website is referred to as a
domain name (or simply 'domain'). It's the character that appears after '@' in an email address or
'www.' in a web address. When people ask how they can find you on the internet, you normally give them your domain name.
Google.com, for example, is a domain name.

Getting a domain name is the first step in setting up an online presence. Anyone can buy a domain name by going to a domain server or registrar like
Google Domains, searching for a name that no one else has, and paying an annual fee to hold and register it. You can also choose from a variety of domain name extensions (commonly known as 'TLDs'), such as.com,.coffee, or. photography.
