What is a domain?

A domain name is the name of your website. A domain name is the address where internet users can access your website. A domain name is used to locate and identify computers on the internet. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of numbers. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. For this reason, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the internet instead of using IP addresses.

Does choosing a domain name affect website promotion?

The truth is, not really. The domain you purchase is more for convenience in accessing the website or a domain name that matches the brand.

Google ultimately translates the domain into an IP address, which is the address of the web server on which your website is stored.

So it doesn’t really matter if you bought a domain name related to the phrase you want to promote on Google.
