The individual host computers over the Internet use domain names in order to identify the host or hostnames. In this way, the hostnames are considered as a component of [[URL]]s (Uniform Resource Locators) for Internet resources like websites. However, the domain names are also used t simply identify labels to determine the ownership or maintain control over the resource.

==How is a domain name organized?==
By means of domain names computers are being connected over the Internet. Even if for some a domain names is just a string typed into the browser, for others who choose to analyze the domain name in depth - it represents a systematically constructed series in subdomains listed hierarchically which enable communication and navigation over the Internet.[[ICANN]] represents the ruling body that monitors the domain naming system.
Basically, a domain names consists of an alphanumeric string which is divided into sections from which the most important section are being separated by periods. For instance if we take "icannwiki.com" the most important sections of this domain name are::
* The highest level of domain name also known as Top-Level Domain ([[TLD]]): such as ".com" string.
* There are also subdivisions of the [[TLD]] depending on the domain name: for instance "icannwiki". There can be more subdivisions of the [[TLD]] that form the domain name. <ref>[http://www.superhostingdeals.com/how-are-domain-names-organized-1462.html Domain Name Organization]</ref>
