What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the web address that people type in the browser to visit your website.
🔗 Example:www.learnnewthings.fun
is the domain name of your website.
Just like every house has an address, every website has a domain.
💡 Why Do You Need a Domain Name?
Without a domain, people would need to remember IP addresses like:123.45.67.89 😵
Instead, we use domain names like:learnnewthings.fun 😍
✅ It makes websites:
- Easy to find
- Professional
- Brandable
🧠 Parts of a Domain Name
Example:www.learnnewthings.fun

learnnewthings | Main domain (your name/brand) |
.fun | TLD – Top Level Domain (extension) |
Common TLDs:

🛠️ How Does a Domain Work?
- User types:
learnnewthings.fun - Browser asks DNS: “Where is this website hosted?”

- Website loads on the screen
💡 Domain + Hosting work together.
