ArticlesDomain names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name eWallhost.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages.
Every house has a permanent address to facilitate easy visits by visitors. Similarly, the concept of a domain name applies to websites, as it serves as the address for your web page, allowing users to access your website effortlessly.
Imagine if the only way to visit a website was through its IP address; it would be challenging for people to remember every single-digit number and access websites. Here's where domain names come to the rescue.
By registering a domain, you can create a memorable and user-friendly domain name along with the appropriate extension.
When a user enters the domain name in the search engine, a request is made to a DNS server. If the DNS server has the corresponding address, it will send it back to the user's browser, allowing access to the website.
If the address is not found on the first DNS server, the request moves to other DNS servers until the correct address is located. Once the address is found, it will be sent back to the user's browser, which will then request data from the hosting server.
The hosting server will send the data to the user's web browser, which will convert it into a fully functional web page that the user can interact with.
