A domain is a part of the web address nomenclature someone would use to find your website or a page of your website online. It is a string of text associated with the numerical IP address of a website that’s much easier for people to remember and search. A domain is often compared to a home address. Your friends don’t memorize your house’s GSP coordinates whenever they want to visit you. Instead, they plug in your street address into their phones. The same goes for visiting a website. Instead of memorizing a website’s IP address, visitors type in the domain into their browser.
