What is domain name?
A domain name is a specific address of a web server, which transfers a visitor to a certain website. An example of a domain name is postaffiliatepro.com. It can be used instead of IP address, which is harder to remember.
It is necessary to choose a right domain name. It has to be easy to remember, easy to say or spell. A domain name has to contain primary keywords, but it has to be short.

Video summary
A domain name acts as the address for your website, providing an easy-to-recall alternative for users to access your content. The domain name system (DNS) is a decentralized system that stores information about which domains are connected to which IP addresses. TLDs, or top-level domains, are the end portion of a domain name and have differences in usage and cost. Subdomains are URLs for specific portions of a website and can be treated as separate websites by search engines. You can purchase a domain name from any registrar, and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) maintains a directory of domain name owners. You can resell a domain name if you no longer need it, and factors like the TLD, keywords, and recognition affect its value.
