What is a domain name?

• A. It is the hosting service
• B. It is the logo file
• C. It is the social media handle
• D. It is your web URL or website address (eg CampusChurch.com)

Answer: (D)

A domain name is the human-friendly web address you type into a browser to reach a site. It acts like a label for the site's server, mapping to the server’s numeric IP address so the browser can locate where the site’s files are stored. It’s not the hosting service (where the site’s files live), not a logo file (a graphic asset), and not a social media handle (a username on a platform). For example, CampusChurch.com lets people reach that site without remembering a string of numbers, and DNS translates that name into the server’s address so the site loads.
