    Domain name:

    The IP address is expressed by number and dot which is tough to remember. That's why a name is
    used with a combination of English characters and numbers which is called domain name to make
    the IP address easier to remember and use. For example www.du.ac.bd is used instead of the IP
    address 103.221.252.0/24.

    The domain name system (DNS) is a naming database in which internet domain names are located
    and translated into IP addresses. DNS is used to monitor the domain names which keeps the
    uniqueness of the domain name. The same domain name can’t be used by multiple persons or
    organizations.

    The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) controls the domain names
    and IP addresses around the world. Generally, ICANN provides the permission of registering
    domain names. With the approval of ICANN many organizations around the world do the task of
    registering domain names.

    A top-level or root level domain (TLD) is the part of a domain that comes after the dot and helps
    to identify the type of organization. The example www.du.ac.bd has ac after the dot (.) which
    identifies the educational institution. A top level domain can be divided into two parts. These are:

    1. Generic top-level domains (gTLD) - Roughly all domains that are not associated with
    a country. The most known are com, org and net. All gTLDs fall under ICANN's policies.

    2. Country-code top-level domains (ccTLD) - All domains that are identified with a
    country or geographical location, for example, bd, de, nl or dk. A ccTLD always consists
    out of two letters.
    Some generic top-level domains are mentioned below with the help of a table:
