Everything
starts with a domain name
(yourcompanyname.co.uk
or yourcompanyname.com etc) which
works like an electronic postbox number.
The domain
name is stored on a “name server”,
which is a computer permanently attached to the internet.
When
someone tries to find a web page containing the domain
name
a “where is it?” message goes to the name server and the search
routes through to the right computer – anywhere in the world.
The domain name is the bit immediately after the
www in a website address and the bit before the
@ in an email address.
The
end bit of the domain (after the dot) shows which country
the domain was registered in and (possibly) what type
of organisation
it is.
(.org is normally
a non-profit organisation - .gov is government - .co.uk is
the common UK registration - .ltd.uk is a UK limited company
- .com is an international [actually American] registration)
