What is a Domain Name and a URL?

A domain name represents the IP Address of your website. More importantly, it is how people see your website address. A domain name looks like the following:

  • samplewebsite.com
  • samplewebsite.org
  • samplewebsite.edu

A URL is the address of your website on the internet. This is the address people will type into their address bar in the web browser that will take them to your website. The following are some examples:

  • http://www.samplewebsite.com
  • www.samplewebsite.org

It is usually an optional service that can be replaced with a Content Management System, which allows the website owner to update the website content.
