Domain names are strings that identify a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control within the Internet.
Domain names are often used to identify services provided through the Internet, such as websites, email services, and more.
As of March 8, 2023, 350.5 million domain names are registered worldwide. This number has been steadily increasing over the years as more and more businesses and individuals see the value of having a website.
The most popular top-level domains (TLDs) are .com, .net, and .org. These TLDs account for over 50% of all registered domain names. Other popular TLDs include .info, .biz, and .edu.
The number of registered domain names is expected to continue to grow in the years to come. As more and more people and businesses connect to the internet, the demand for domain names will increase.
Domain names are formed by the Domain Name System (DNS) rules and procedures. Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name. Domain names are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names is the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains com, info, net, edu, and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users who wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, create other publicly accessible Internet resources, or run websites.
A second or third-level domain name registration is usually administered by a domain name registrar who sells its services to the public.

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is a domain name that is completely specified with all labels in the DNS hierarchy, with no parts omitted. Traditionally an FQDN ends in a dot (.) to denote the top of the DNS tree.[2] Labels in the Domain Name System are case-insensitive and may therefore be written in any desired capitalization method, but most commonly, domain names are written in lowercase in technical contexts.[3]
Domain Name Purpose
Domain names serve to identify Internet resources, such as computers, networks, and services, with a text-based label that is easier to memorize than the numerical addresses used in Internet protocols. A domain name may represent entire collections of such resources or individual instances. Individual Internet host computers use domain names as host identifiers, also called hostnames. The term hostname is also used for the leaf labels in the domain name system, usually without further subordinate domain name space. Hostnames appear as a component in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for Internet resources such as websites (e.g., en.wikipedia.org).
Domain names are also used as simple identification labels to indicate ownership or control of a resource. Examples are the realm identifiers used in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the Domain Keys used to verify DNS domains in email systems, and many other Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).
An important function of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and memorable characters to numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any help to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally, in an intranet. Such a move usually requires changing the IP address of a resource and the corresponding translation of this IP address to and from its domain name.
Domain names are used to establish a unique identity. Organizations can choose a domain name that corresponds to their name, helping Internet users to reach them easily.
A generic domain is a name that defines a general category rather than a specific or personal instance, for example, the name of an industry rather than a company name. Some examples of generic names are books.com, music.com, and travel.info. Companies have created brands based on generic names, and such generic domain names may be valuable.[4]
Domain names are often referred to as domains, and domain name registrants are frequently called domain owners. However, domain name registration with a registrar does not confer any legal ownership of the domain name, only an exclusive right of use for a particular duration of time. The use of domain names in commerce may subject them to trademark law.
