What is Domain name and how to choose best domain name | Best Domain registration sites

Domain is a name of your website. It should be unique, user-readable and any combination of both letters and numbers. It's an Identity of an IP address. Every website has its own IP address like "102.23.536". It is very difficult to remember numbers. To avoid this, we are going to place a Domain name instead of IP address and the Domain name looks like "https://www.mywebsite.com". It's completely called as URL.

On March 15th 1985, the world's first and oldest registered Domain name is "symbolics.com" registered by Symbolics, a Massachusetts (US State) computer company.
