A domain is a virtual address on the Internet for any organization or entity. Technically, a domain is defined as a group of networked computers (servers) that represent an organization and provide network services; however, several domains can reside on one server, in a dedicated space provided by a Web hosting service. To the Internet user, a domain appears as the space on one server, regardless of its implementation.
Domains are identified by their familiar Internet URL (Uniform Resource Locator) addresses. Syntactically, a domain name is a string of words separated by periods. For example, http://www.ingrammicro.com is the name of the domain where Ingram Micro information resides on its server.
Domains are structured in the form of an inverted tree. Each branch or leaf on the tree is labeled with a simple alphanumeric string, and a complete domain name is written by stringing all the labels together, separated by periods. Thus, www.ingrammicro.com is a third-level domain name. The root domain is com, the second level label is ingrammicro, and the third level is www.
Note: You should officially register a domain and Internet address before you create it in CloudBlue Commerce. You can do this using any Internet registration service.
CloudBlue Commerce allows you to create, edit, and delete domains.
