domain name (web address)
A domain name is also called a web address, and like a memorable street address, it can help people find you online. You might base your domain name on your own name, the name of your company, keywords that describe your business, even a short phrase — anything that will make your web address easy to remember.
Domain Name System (DNS)
The Domain Name System, or DNS, is used to translate a domain name into its corresponding IP address, the series of numbers that signifies a computer's unique location on the Internet. DNS servers compile lists of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses and share this information with other servers to ensure that Internet traffic such as email can find its destination. DNS records control the functionality of domain names. You can manage the DNS record for your domain name by clicking the "Advanced DNS settings" link on your Domain Control Panel. Learn more.
