Domains

Web address used in the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is called as Domain name. This domain name is used in internet for online searches. It also acts as an address when used with any suffix extensions. All searches are made only with the help of this domain name in today’s internet world. Every domain name has a particular name server like www. Depending upon the need, usage and country we have suffix to the domain name. From the domain name extension we can easily identify what line of industry that particular domain name belongs to.

For example:

• com – Commercial business
• org – Organizations  (non profit)
• biz – Business and ecommercial
• info – Information
• gov – Government agencies
• edu – Educational institutions
• net – Network Organisations
• .in -  India based websites.

In the beginning we had only one extension that is .com with the increase in internet usage lot of extensions have been created and used. Every extension has its own purpose and we find country name have been used as extensions.

For example: India – .in, United States -  .us, United Kingdom – .uk, France – .fr etc.

To make it more clear take for example : www.Global iWay.com , www is the name server and Global iWay is the company name and .com extension is for commercial purpose.   You can search in the URL using this web address. From the web address we can understand that it is purely a commercial oriented one if it has .com extension or site run by an organization if it has .org extension.

For having a professional look to your email address you can have your own domain name. Even sub domains can be created.
