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. favoritedomains.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".
This article will primarily discuss registered domain names. See the Domain Name System article for technical
discussions about general domain names and the hostname article for further information about the most common type of domain name.
The most common types of domain names are hostnames that provide more memorable names to stand in for numeric IP addresses.
They allow for any service to move to a different location in the topology of the Internet (or an intranet), which would then have a
different IP address.
