Domain name
Every device on the internet has a numerical address called an IP address. Since remembering numbers is a lot harder than remembering names, a Domain name is used to point a name to the IP address of the service you want to use. You can use a Domain Name for websites, email and many other services. For example you could type 60.234.81.144 into your internet browser and get our website, but www.google.com is much easier.
