What is a domain name?

Domain names are the human-friendly forms of Internet addresses, and are commonly used to find web sites. For example, the domain name melisbek.com is used to locate the Melisbek&Partners web site at http://melisbek.com. A domain name also forms the basis of other methods or applications on the Internet, such as file transfer (ftp) or email addresses - for example the email address info@melisbek.com is also based on the domain name melisbek.com.
