Overview
An individual or an organization registers a domain name. It’s often intended to represent an entity on the internet. For example, microsoft.com is the web presence for the Microsoft Corporation. A domain can be thought of as a mailing address, and one or more rooms or hosts can be at that address. For example, www.microsoft.com is the main website for Microsoft, whereas update.microsoft.com is a software update site that Microsoft also hosts.
