Domain Names

Domain Names take the place of a number based address. ie: Hartlandhosting.com rather than IP address
To register a domain name visit GoDaddy.com

Sub-Domains

Sub domains are a great way of separating out your domain into a more organized site. You may also use this ability to split your site into multiple domains.
Example are: maps.yahoo.com, store.yourdomain.com

DNS Servers

DNS servers are used when you register a domain name, and are used because they are easier to remember than an IP address.

IP Address

IP addresses are used over the internet as a form of identification, or address.
