Friends, yesterday a new internet provider visited me, and told me about his plans. Since, I was not interested in his plans, he told me that he will be giving me a domain and three 3 personalised email free.
What is a Domain, and what are the uses of it. What can I do with this domain. What is the use of the personalized email, since I have already have 3 email accounts, with yahoo, rediff and gmail.

Hi!! Mr. Ramesh Kumar,
I am happy to reply to your query. Domain is a name given to our space resided at server to run our website. This name is required to call remotely located website from any place in world wide web.
Ex: Yahoo runs web server to host www.yahoo.com. So the user calls website from any where. The name www.yahoo.com is domain name.

web domain is a name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.
Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains

A domain is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).Domain names are also used as simple identification labels to indicate ownership or control of a resource.

Domain name (domain name) is given a unique name to identify the name of the computer server such as a web server or email server on a computer network or the Internet. The domain name serves to facilitate the users on the Internet at the time of access to the server, but is also used to remember the name of the server you're visiting without having to know the intricate rows of numbers known as IP addresses. This domain name is also known as a union of a website. The domain name is sometimes also referred to by the term URL, or web address.
