What is the difference between a website domain name and a website address?

What is the difference between the website domain name and the website address? I believe that you have known the domain name of the website and believe that the domain name is the website. In fact, it is not the case. Next, Shangpin will tell you in detail:

Definition of domain name: A domain name is the name of a computer or computer group on the Internet, which is composed of a series of names separated by dots. It is used to identify the electronic location of the computer during data transmission. The website can be found through this address, and the domain name can become the website only after being resolved.

A domain name is designed to facilitate memory and communication of the address of a group of servers (website, email, FTP, etc.). The domain name is the name of an Internet participant. The first domain name registered in the world was registered in January 1985. The labels in the domain name are composed of English letters and numbers. Each label is no more than 63 characters, and is not case sensitive. No punctuation mark other than hyphen (-) can be used in the label.

Definition of web address: web address usually refers to the address of web pages on the Internet. Enterprises, institutions or individuals store some information on the Internet page by page through technical processing. Each page has a corresponding address for other users to access information. Such an address is called a web address. In the Internet, if you want to access another computer on the Internet from one computer, you must know the address of the other computer. The web address mentioned here actually refers to two connotations, namely IP address and domain name address.

What is the difference between the two?

The website and domain name are often confused, thinking that the registered domain name is the website, but actually the registered domain name is not the website. Only after the domain name is resolved, that is, the domain name is connected to the IP address of the website, can the domain name become a website. The website can be accessed directly. The website is not necessarily the homepage website, but also the website URL of any content page. After registering a domain name, it is not necessary to put it into use. Some domain names are registered for investment or standby, and they do not have a corresponding relationship with any website. At this time, domain names cannot be called web addresses.

What types of domain names are there?

Country domain names (ccTLD), such as. cn in China,. us in the United States,. ru in Russia, and international domain names (gTLD), such as (1). com for commercial companies, (2). net for the Internet, (3). org associations, (4). gov government departments, and more than 1000 domain names, all of which have no difference in suffix function, except for their appearance and meaning, However, only a few examples of domain name suffixes can be filed on domestic support websites.
