If you want to know more about issues related to the domain or the hosting of a web page, just keep reading and you will find out what you are looking for.
what is a domain name?
www.xxx.com is a fictitious example of a domain. Usually, in the place of the X’s is the name of the page, whether it is a blog, online store, forum or other modality. It is important that internet domains are related to the company’s brand; otherwise it can confuse users and cause negative effects for SEO.
