What are Domains?
Domain is a very important component in a website. Domains can be likened to identifying the website itself. Without identification, it will be very easy to identify and search for the desired website. For example, when we type www.efgh.com, we can easily access the beadgroup website. For example, an IP Protocol such as 123,456.789,000 becomes www.efgh.com by using the Domain Name System (DNS). Curious about the detailed meaning of www.efgh.com? The domain can be parsed i.e., (www) as a third level domain, tells the browser to search for a domain name on the web, abcd is considered a second level domain, and the .com part represents the top domain or Third Level Domain (TLD). TLDs are also often called domain extensions and surely you already know a lot about them, such as .com, .net, .id, and many more.
How Domains Work
The Domain Name System (DNS) works by adding IP addresses to names that are easier to remember with the names you want. Guarantee that non-duplication domains are guaranteed so that there will not be the same domain on a website. The domain name remains unchanged even if you change the server that hosts your website. The only thing required is to tell DNS about your new server.
Frequently used domains
The following are domains that are often used, especially in Indonesia:
- .com : Is the most popular domain in the world.
This domain is short for commercial but over time this domain has become more commonplace to use, for example: www.google.com

This domain is usually used for community organizations. There are quite a lot of users of this domain to date. Example: www.pssi.org
