ANSWER:
A domain name is very similar to an address forwarding service. The domain
name is the address people type in their web browser to get to your web
site. The domain name then points to the "real" address that
contains your web site. The "real" address is called the IP
address and is a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. This IP address
then points to the location on the server that contains your web site
files. The reason we use domain names instead of IP addresses is because
for most people a name, rather than a series of numbers, is much easier
to remember. So, your domain name points to your IP address, which in
turn points to your web site which allows users all across the Internet
to view your web pages.
