What Is a Domain Name? Domain vs. Web Hosting
28,277 ViewsAug 17, 2022Computers identify each other through a series of numbers known as IP addresses. But these numbers are hard to remember (just imagine if we had to memorize the IP addresses of all of our favorite websites). That's why we rely on domain names.
In this video, we'll delve into domain names and how they're used.
