A domain is simply a tool to make the Internet user friendly. Computers communicate via a TCP/IP protocol which locates computers by identifying them with an IP address (eg 196.189..0.1). To visit another computer on the Internet, your local computer needs to know the remote computers IP address so that it can connect to it. Domains use a DNS BIND protocol that enables users to type in easy to remember words, instead of hard to remember numbers.
