  • A domain in computer terms can refer to a Local Area Network (LAN, or domain/workgroup). A domain name is the URL address that is assigned to a website's IP as an alphanumeric location such as www.answerbag.com or www.google.com. Domain names can be registered for as little as $5 per year and can be bought from VeriSign, NameRoute, or Go Daddy. They are OS independant as they are hosted in a remote location generally on a Linux server. You may use domain names with Novell, Oracle (DB), Windows, Mac, Linux/Unix etc. as the domain name itself is handled by a web browser.
  • Domain and Domain Names: (From WWW.TechTerms.com) http://www.techterms.com/definition/domain - - - - [Here is an EXCERPT from the website for you] - - - - While the term "domain" is often used synonymously with "domain name," it also has a definition specific to local networks. A domain contains a group of computers that can be accessed and administered with a common set of rules. For example, 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. Setting up a domain may also block outside traffic from accessing computers within the network, which adds an extra level of security. While domains can be setup using a variety of networking software, including applications from Novell and Oracle, Windows users are most likely familiar with Windows Network Domains. This networking option is built into Windows and allows users to create or join a domain. The domain may or may not be password-protected.
  • depends what your talking about. Generally on a network it's an environment for specific users, online it is a name registered to an entity for a duration.

  • If this is like a 'need to know the right answer' then don't rely on me, cause Im not exactly sure... but I always thought a domain was either the .com or .org or whatever it is at the end of the URL, or the middle part like *********.com * standing for the name. Good question, +2
