Introduction

In this documentation, we will look at what a domain name is and what extensions are available from LWS.

Definition of a domain name

A domain name is used to access a website. A domain is a group of computers connected to the Internet and sharing a common characteristic. Consequently, an Internet address or domain name is the equivalent of your postal address on the Internet.

Why use a domain name?

The domain name is present in your URL bar. Memorising one or more IP addresses can be complicated and you no longer know which site it corresponds to. So using a domain name is much more practical. For example, LWS has the domain name lws.fr, so it's easier to remember this than its IP.

Choosing a domain name is important on the Internet, as it is your brand image and protection.

Its composition :

A domain name is made up of three parts: the first part is the "sub-domain", the second part is the second level and the third part is the top-level domain, known colloquially as "extensions".

A sub-domain allows a visitor to go directly to the page they are looking for

LWS has several sub-domains allowing you to access very specific things. For example https://aide.lws.fr/ (the page you are currently on).

Extensions

There are several types of extension. Each extension is managed by an international and national registry. At LWS, you will find more than 400 extensions. Find the most popular extensions such as .fr, .be, .com and .eu.
