What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the human-readable address that people type into their browser to visit your website. It translates into a numerical IP address that computers use to locate the correct server on the internet. For example, zhaku.com is a domain name. Behind the scenes, a system called DNS (Domain Name System) converts this name into an IP address like 185.123.45.67, directing your browser to the server where the website is hosted. Domain names consist of two main parts: the second-level domain (the name you choose, like "zhaku") and the top-level domain or TLD (the extension, like ".com"). There are hundreds of TLDs available, from classic options like .com, .net, and .org to country-code TLDs like .co.uk and .eu, and newer extensions like .tech, .store, and .online. At Zhaku.com, you can register domains from over 100 TLDs at competitive prices.
