What is Domain Name?

When you think of building your website on a platform like WordPress (Blogger), the first thing to remember is what its Domain Name will be, don't you know what the Domain Name is. Now know what is a domain and how many types are there, so let us know what is a domain?

What Is Domain Name?

A domain is the name of your website like www.knowingworldkk.blogspot.com This is the name of our website but the story does not end here it starts from here Domain is run on the system which is called DNS means Domain Name System, it is the main address or Web address of your site, such as the web address of the knowingworld, is www.knowingworldkk.blogspot.com. It contains "knowingworldkk.blogspot.com" is the domain name.

Is the domain necessary or can it work without it, yes, initially there were IP addresses rather than Web addresses, the full name of the IP address (Internet Protocol Address), the IP address in today's time Without an IP address, the computer cannot be connected to the Internet or any network.

Similarly, every website has an IP address, so that it can be identified on the Internet, it is exactly like the zip code of your city, but will you be able to remember the names of the 20 cities better or their pincode Exactly you will be able to remember the name much better

The same problem was in remembering the IP address of a website, for example you can remember Google.in Web Address more easily, but if you are asked that you remember Google.in IP address. Keep i.e. 172.217.9.164, then there will be very few people who would like to remember 172.217.9.164 instead of Google.in.

How Domain Name System (DNS) works?

The domain name system consists of the Domain Name System. The domain you type is converted to an IP address. It instructs your name server to search for this IP and reach it if you talk. The name server is the official name server of the domain on the Internet and you will get the information of this name server from the same website from which you register your domain. Suppose if you take a domain from Bluehost, Bluehost's name server Is responsible for taking the user to your site.
