Nominet are the UK Registrars of Domain names. The following
is their explanation of Domain Names.
'Just as post-codes are used for particular street names,
computers connected to the Internet have unique numerical
addresses so that electronic information is delivered
to the right place. The Domain Name System (DNS) translates
the numerical addresses of computers into more user-friendly
names.
The resulting Domain Names are easy to recall and help
people to find information on the Internet.
Domain Names form part of web site addresses (technically
known as URLs - Unique Resource Locators), for example
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news, and they are often used in
advertising to point people to information about an organisation.
Domain Names are also used in e-mail addresses, for
example, user@nominet.org.uk, that enable people to send
and receive electronic messages.'
