it's unique, as there are NO duplicates.

of your your Domain Name, fill

To
undestand the domain name system,
lets start at the beginning. Tthe internet's addresses are divided
into spaces (similar to your home address) and ... called the top
Domain. There are a number of them, here are a few and what they
represent, ...look familar?
| com
= commercial |
net
= network |
org
= organization |
edu
= education |
.COM:
The top-level domain originally intended for "commercial"entities.
This is the most recognized top-level domain worldwide. Any
person or organization may register a domain name in .com
.NET The top-level domain used to designate
organization involved in network development. Any
organization may now register a domain name in .net, worldwide
top-level domain.
.ORG: The top-level domain originally designated for
miscellaneous entities such as non-profit organizations that
do not fit under any of the other top-level domains. Any
person or organization may now register a domain name in
.org, a worldwide top-level domain.
.EDU: The top-level domain
designated for four-year, degree-granting colleges and
universities.
.GOV: The top-level domain designated for agencies and
branches of the United States
Federal Government. State and local governments in the
United States should use the .US top-level country code
domain. Prior to October 1, 1997, registration in. GOV was
handled by InterNIC; the General Services Administration
(GSA) began handling registration in this top level domain
starting October 1, 1997.
.MIL: The top-level domain designated for United States
military entities. |
Definition of
Domain Name Space:
An Internet addressing scheme that is hierarchical in nature and
uses a "tree" structure to organize information that
describes networks and computers. The domain name space is
the sum total of domain names that currently represent networks
and computers, as well as all of the possible domain names - not
yet in use - which may potentially represent networks and
computers.
Definition
of Domain:
A subset of the total domain name space. A domain represents
a level of the hierarchy in the Domain Name Space, and is
represented by a domain name. For example, the domain name
curbside.net represents
the second level domain curbside
which is a subset, or sub-domain, of the top-level domain com,
which is in turn a larger subset of the total Domain Name Space.

Definition
of top-level Domain:
In the addressing system, the highest level of the hierarchy after
the root. In a domain name, that portion of the domain name that
appears furthest to the right. For example, the net in curbside.net
. Notice
that the root here is referred to as the "dot". |
Definition of Second Level Domain:
Is the next lower level of the hierarchy underneath the top level
domains. In a domain name, that portion of the domain name that
appears immediately to the left of the top-level domain. Second
level domain names are often
descriptive and have come to be used increasingly to represent
businesses and other commercial concerns on the Internet. |
Third Level Domain:
In the address
system, the next highest level of the hierarchy underneath the
second level domains. In a domain name, that portion of the domain
name that appears two segments to the left of the top-level
domain. For example, the reston in reston.va.us.
Third level domains are not the portion of an e-mail address that
appears in front of the @ symbol -
for example, the webmaster in
support@curbside.net
is not a third level domain. For clarification
the portions left of the @ is called the user name or ID.
