What Exactly Is A Domain Address

In simple terms, a domain address is a unique name or address that you type into a web browser to visit a website. It’s like the online “home” for a website. A domain address typically consists of two parts: the domain name (e.g., google) and the domain extension (e.g., .com). When you enter a domain address in your browser, it sends a request to a server, which then delivers the website’s content to your device, allowing you to view and interact with the website. Think of it as the digital address that helps you find and access websites on the internet.
