For example, www.neturk.com is a domain name.

If we go into more detail;
The internet network is a giant computer network interconnected by global cables. On this network, every computer can communicate with other computers. To identify these computers, each computer is assigned an IP address. This IP address is a sequence of numbers that identifies a specific computer connected to the internet network.

A typical IP address looks like this: 192.85.116.14

Imagine having to reach the websites you like and want to visit through such a sequence of numbers every time. This is exactly why domain names were created — to eliminate this problem.

So, instead of typing a hard-to-remember number sequence, you can simply type an easy-to-remember domain to reach the website you want to visit.

How Does a Domain Work?

When you type a domain name into your web browser's address bar, you send a request to a global server network. This request finds the web server where the domain is located; this server is the computer that hosts the website you requested. It is also referred to as a server. The website stored on the server is then sent to your browser.

Domain Types and Meanings

Domain names come in many different forms. The most popular ones are domains with extensions like com, net, org, gov, edu, info. Each one is actually an abbreviation of a word.

com; is the abbreviation of the English word "commercial".
net; means network.
org; is short for organization.
Each domain extension has a meaning like this. However, today the .com extension is the most popular one.
Domain extensions such as com.tr, net.tr, org.tr used in our country are country-code top-level domains and are unique to Turkey.
com.tr domain names can be used by commercial enterprises affiliated with a chamber or those with a trademark registration certificate. Name-Surname.com.tr can also be used.
net.tr can be used by companies operating in the IT sector, and org.tr can be used by associations and foundations.
Every country has its own country-code top-level domain. For example, .de for Germany, .fr for France.

Domain Selection

- Prefer a .com domain as it is the most popular and easiest to remember.

- We recommend commercial enterprises to choose a .com.tr domain because it is considered more trustworthy by users. However, if it is available, it is better to buy the .com domain as well and redirect it to the .com.tr domain. As mentioned earlier, .com.tr domains can only be purchased by businesses or brands, so they are official and more trustworthy. In addition, since they are purchased through an official authority, they are registered directly to the business even if managed through an intermediary, and the business can change this intermediary at any time.

For .com domains, you carry out purchase and renewal processes through the registrar you bought it from. If the registrar becomes unreachable for any reason, you may be unable to renew the domain when the term ends and may lose access to it. For this reason, the reliability of the registrar you choose is extremely important.

- Choose a short and easy-to-remember domain name.

- Choose a domain that is easy to pronounce and highly memorable.

- Avoid using numbers or hyphens if possible.
