What is Domain Name, how to check Domain Availability ?

What is Domain Name, how check Domain Name Availability ?

For me when I started working in IT Industry, before 4 years, it took me almost 6 months to understand the Domain Name and DNS Service and how both works in hand in hand.

Domain Name : Domain Name is the address of your website that people type in the browser URL bar to visit your website.
 
It is the domain name which helps any user from world to visit our website through browser.
It is the domain name which helps user to recognize or remember our website name easily.

No doubt that it is not only Domain Name but some other services which helps to resolve/reach any user to our website. But, user only interfere with domain name (we can say user side/ user Interface) and not what is happening in the background (we can say on the server side).

To use a Domain Name we need to purchase it, and have to pay some amount for every year to use this Domain Name as our website name.

We can check the registrar or owner of any domain from WHOIS lookup, some website has given some functionality to check it in user friendly manner, some of websites are as below;

https://www.whois.com
https://in.godaddy.com/whois
https://whois.domaintools.com/

From above websites, we can check the registrar of Domain, Hosting location of domain, some registrars also shows the owner details of domain.

We can also keep our Domain's owner details private by paying some extra charges to our registrar.

You can also check the availability of any domain from above websites, or there are so many websites which shows the availability of domain names.
