Domain names

What are domain names?

Domain names are human readable addresses for internet services such as websites, email systems, and many other services.

A domain name is translated to an IP (Internet Protocol) address which is the specific address of a server or computer connected to the internet.

To an end user, this means that they can simply visit a website – for example http://www.domains.co.uk and they will be directed to the correct web server.
