              There are just a few hundred top-level domains available, which are separated into two groups: Generic domain names
              and country-specific domain names.


                 Generic Domain Names                                       Country Specific Domain Names

              Domain Name Resolution

              It is the process of determining the IP address associated with a domain name. This is how it goes:
              Let’s say you want to visit a website and type a URL into your web browser. The browser first looks for the IP address of
              the server that corresponds to the Domain Name (contained in the URL) on your computer. If this address is present,
              the associated server is contacted using this address, and the website is then shown in your browser.
              Otherwise, the browser transmits the domain name to a set of servers (known as domain name servers) that lookup
              the IP address. After the IP address has been determined, the server is contacted, and the webpage is shown in your
              browser.
