Without realizing it you're already familiar with domain names. They are URLs that you type in your web browser to access websites on the internet. frontdreams.com is an example of a domain name.

The fundamental function of a domain name is to serve as the address for your website. An IP address is a string of digits that is assigned to every computer, including the server that hosts your website. Users would have to enter your server's IP address to visit your site if domain names were not available.
