Domain

The human readable address of a website, like google.com or myapp.dev.

Detailed Explanation

A domain name is the human readable address people type to visit your website (like google.com or myapp.dev). Behind the scenes, domains map to IP addresses (numbers that identify servers). You purchase domains from registrars like Namecheap or Google Domains, then point them to your Hosting provider using DNS. Choosing a good domain is part of your personal brand as a developer -- many developers own their name.dev as a portfolio site.

Your domain is connected to your Server through DNS Records, which tell the internet where to route traffic for your domain name.
