What is a domain name?
As we know domain name is made up of two parts. Let’s look at digitalgabbar.com or digitalgabbar.in as an example.
In both these domains, “digitalgabbar” is our name and “.in /.com” domain. .in or .com is called domain extension which we can choose according to our wish.
Here .in means India and .com means commercial.
