In many ways, the Internet is like a rapidly developing city. It's an exciting
and fascinating place to explore, but sometimes the choices can be a little
overwhelming. There are so many interesting sites to visit -- virtual town
halls, shopping malls, financial districts, monuments, movie theaters,
libraries, sports stadiums -- but finding your way around the crowded streets
in cyberspace can be challenging. Domain names help you navigate the Internet.
They are the street signs that direct you along the right path. They are the
billboards that tell you about exciting events, places or products. They are
the signs on the doors of each building, telling you what exciting information,
people, or services await you inside. Whether or not you realize it, you use
domain names to make decisions, form opinions, and get key information about
each place that you visit in cyberspace. And you should be aware that when you
choose a domain name, you are making a statement to others about who you are
and what you do on the Internet. This guide will help you understand how the
domain name system works and the role of domain names in your experience on
the Internet. next page
