🌐 What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the web address that people type into their browser to visit your website — for example, sitpakzsolution.com. Think of it like your shop’s signboard on the internet, which helps customers identify and reach your business online.

Instead of remembering complicated IP addresses like 192.168.1.1, people use domain names, which are easier and more meaningful.
