The term domain name has multiple related meanings:
- A name that identifies a computer or computers on
the internet. These names appear as a component of a
Web site's URL, e.g. hosuronline.com. This type of
domain name is also called a hostname.
- The product that domain name registrars provide to
their customers.These names are often called
registered domain names.
- Names used for other purposes in the Domain Name
System (DNS), for example the special name which
follows the @ sign in an email address, or the
Top-level domain names like .com, or the names used by
the Session Initiation Protocol (VoIP), or DomainKeys.
- They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly)
referred to by marketers as "web addresses".
