A domain name is a name that is needed in order to exist on the
Internet. In other words, a domain name is the internet address of
a person. A domain name technically refers to an internet address
given to a number system consisting of ten digits and specified as
an IP address. The concept of a domain name is also known as DNS
(domain name system). In order to prevent the difficulty and
confusion that these numbers may cause, the domain name is
converted into an address consisting of words and letters.
The part that is important for companies in a domain name is the
"second-level domain" part. For example, in
www.google.com.tr, the second-level domain part is
"google". This second-level domain name must
carry an element of distinctiveness in a way that will not cause
confusion with other companies or brands. The
".com" located in the domain name refers to the
generic first-level domain name while the ".tr"
refers to the country code domain name.
