A website is a collection of web pages
(documents that are accessed through the Internet), such as the one you're
looking at now. A web page is what you see on the screen when you type in a web
address, click on a link, or put a query in a search engine. A web page can
contain any type of information and can include text, color, graphics,
animation and sound. When someone gives you their web address, it
generally takes you to their website's home page, which should introduce you to
what that site offers in terms of information or other services. From the home
page, you can click on links to reach other sections of the site. A website can
consist of one page, or of tens of thousands of pages, depending on what the
site owner is trying to accomplish.
domain?
A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of
administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet.
Domain names are used in various networking contexts and for
application-specific naming and addressing purposes. In general, a domain name
identifies a network domain, or it represents an Internet
Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to
access the Internet, a server computer hosting a web site,
or the web site itself or any other service communicated via the Internet. In
2017, 330.6 million domain names had been registered. Domain
names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Any name
registered in the DNS is a domain name. Domain names are organized in
subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain,
which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level
domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs),
such as the prominent domains com, info, net, edu, and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).
Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and
third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users
who wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, create other publicly
accessible Internet resources or run web sites.
