Network domain
• A group of computers and devices on a network that are
administered as a unit with common rules and procedures

A company may require all local computers to be networked within
the same domain so that each computer can be seen from other
computers within the domain or located from a central server

What's the difference between a website and a domain?

A domain is the name of a website, a URL is how to find a

website, and a website is what people see and interact with when
they get there.

In other words, when you buy a domain, you have purchased the
name for your site, but you still need to build the site.
PRIVACY OF PERSONAL & PUBLIC DOMAINS

What is the difference between private and public domain

registration?

If a domain is registered as public, then the information you used to

register the domain -your name, address, e-mail address, and

the Whois database, you retain FULL CONTROL over your
domain name. You can:

Cancel, sell, or renew your domain name

Control the content for your website
Set the nameservers for your domain name
Update your underlying domain name contact information
Resolve any and all disputes involving your domain name
