Put simply a domain name is the address that people use to find you or your company online; it's what you type in the browser's address bar to go to a specific website.

Also, a domain name is used for your email address.

For example, our domain name is: http://www.domaingod.com (in today's browsers, it's not necessary to type the symbols 'http://' and, in some case, the 'www' ).
