Domain Name is actually the website name. Domain Name System, or DNS, is the most recognized system for assigning addresses to Internet web servers. Somewhat like international phone numbers, the domain name system helps to give every Internet server a memorable and easy-to-spell address. Simultaneously, the domain names keep the really technical IP address invisible for most viewers..

Some example Internet domain names:

about.com
nytimes.com
navy.mil
harvard.edu
monster.ca
wikipedia.org
japantimes.co.jp
dublin.ie
gamesindustry.biz
spain.info
sourceforge.net
wikipedia.org
