A domain is a unique address that identifies a website on the internet. It consists of two parts: the domain name and the top-level domain (TLD). The domain name is the specific name of the website, while the TLD is the suffix such as .com, .org, or .net that provides an indication of the purpose of the website. Domain names are registered with a domain name registrar and then leased to the public. The registrant is the owner of the domain name and is responsible for maintaining the registration. Depending on the type of domain registration, the registrant may be the same as the website owner, or it may be a separate entity such as a hosting provider or marketing firm. In either case, the registrant is the person or organization that is legally responsible for the domain name.
