Every website on the internet actually lives at a numeric address (an IP address). Domain names exist purely so humans don't have to remember those numbers.
Take noxel360.com: "noxel360" is the actual name, and ".com" is the TLD (top-level domain). Common TLDs include .com, .org, .net, country-specific ones like .ca or .uk, and newer options like .io or .ai.
The very first domain name ever registered, symbolics.com, was registered in 1985 and is still active today โ now owned as a piece of internet history.
Domain names are registered, not purchased outright โ typically for one to ten years, through a registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google Domains). If a renewal is missed, the domain becomes available again for anyone else.
You need both, purchased separately or together, then connected โ the domain configured to point to wherever the hosting lives.
