What are domain names?

[Greg-Netost]

A domain name is a unique name that identifies a website. Each website has a domain name that serves as an address, which is used to access the website by its users.

Whenever you visit a website, the domain name appears in the address bar of the web browser. It is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control on the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules Domain Name System (DNS). Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name.

I am also wondering what this www is all about? I first thought it meant wonderful wet women but I was disappointed when I arrived here.

Greg actually came into my local pub last night. He walked in, stood on a chair and said "What is a pub?" And then proceeded to tell us.

Top bloke is Greg.

Perhaps it's a test of some kind of new AI chatbot?

Hi Greg

Might be a good idea to introduce yourself, tell people a little about what you do etc.

I wonder when his first "I'm getting out of the domaining business" flounce will be.
