What is a Domain name?

A domain name in technical terms is an identification string that is used to define the authority of an entity on the Internet. For example, www.appypie.com is a domain name, and every page on the internet that is identified and created under it will belong to the owner, in this case, Appy Pie. A domain name gives businesses and website owners the complete ownership of their brand and trademark. Stealing someone’s domain is illegal in many countries around the world.

The concept of domain names has existed since before the Internet was released to the public and during the ARPANET era. The purpose of a domain name is to identify the computers and devices connected over the Internet. According to the latest numbers, 115.6 million domain names are in use.
