What is Domain Name with example?
Domain Name or DNS (Domain Naming System) is a nomenclature by which we can identify a website in the Internet. Domain is a type of address that we use to visit a particular website.

You imagine if all the website names were in the same programming language or any IP address, then how difficult it would be for everyone, to find any other website.
