1. Domain Names

The domain names are parts of a larger system (Domain Name System – DNS) that is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to internet or a private network. It translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide enabling internet users to remember those addresses more easily.

As noted above domain names are hierarchical but the hierarchy shall be read in the reverse order. The lower host is to be written first, then the main hosts are indicated and the names ends with the top-level domain. These top-level domains can be generic (gTLDs) such as ''.com'' ; ''.net'' ; ''.org'' or peculiar to a country (country code top level domains, ccTLDs) such as ''.us''; ''.tr''; ''.sg''.
