 Definition of a domain name
 A domain name is an identification label to define a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).
Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. Domain names are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the top-level Internet domains (TLDs), such as the prominent domains com, net and org.
For example, a company called "AB-CD" :
- The website address is : http://www.ab-cd.co.uk
- The email company is : contact@ab-cd.co.uk
- In all these addresses, there is a common part :
ab-cd.co.uk is the domain name
