What Is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the unique address people use to visit your website on the internet. It’s what users type into their browser to find your MLM business online.

Example:
If your website is: https://www.mlmstage.com
Then mlmstage.com is your domain name.

Think of It Like a Digital Address

Just like your home has a street address, your website needs a digital location — that’s your domain name. It tells web browsers exactly where to find your site.

Anatomy of a Domain Name

Let’s break down an example: www.mlmstage.com

• 1. www – The optional prefix (stands for “World Wide Web”)
• 2. mlmstage – Your brand or business name
• 3. .com – The domain extension or TLD (Top-Level Domain)
