What does "domain" mean? All you need to know about the Internet domain
The "domain" or domain name is one of the important tools that the user needs to send and receive information on the Internet. By using a period (.) and two slashes (//), we find, for example, http://www.mazeedit.com/, which means the name denoting a specific address that leads the user to his place on the Internet.
The last letters in any domain refer to the "domain extension", so we find that:
Com indicates a company or commercial use.
- .org denotes a non-profit organization.
-.ac indicates an academic organization.
-.net indicates a network resource.
- .mil indicates a military body.
-.edu indicates an educational institution.
-.gov indicates a government agency.
Also, sometimes two letters are added to the end of the domain to indicate a specific country, such as uk to refer to the United Kingdom or fr to refer to France or eg to refer to Egypt and so on, noting that the domain extension is used and it is a substitute for the IP number of the site, which consists of several numbers that are difficult to memorize to ordinary users.
The organization responsible for domains is the "ICAN" organization, which is a world-famous organization that gives permission to companies to sell domains for certain amounts of money. The first use of the domain name system dates back to 1983.
