A domain is a convenient way for us to navigate the internet. Take google.ca
as a example. When you use google.ca
in your browser's address bar, you are actually going to 216.58.192.195
. But google.ca
is much easier to remember.
Here's another example to take the idea further: https://takeout.google.com/?pli=1
. In this link, the domain is google.com
, and the subdomain is takeout
.
