Domain names, or simply domains, are a combination of letters, numbers, and hyphens that identify an Internet Protocol (IP) address for data communication.
The domain ‘example.com’ identifies the numeric IP or DNS 15.197.204.56 (Domain Name Server).
The domain name is used because it is easier to remember than the IP Protocol.
It is used after the @ symbol in email addresses or after “www” in website addresses.
In email addresses, the “account” you want to identify is placed before the domain: info@example.com.
Domain names are acquired by paying a fee for an annual or longer period, which is automatically renewable.
Top-level domains
Generic domain names or top-level domains (TLDs), such as: .com, .org, .net, .int, .edu, .gov, .mil, .areo, .info, .jobs, .legal, .biz, .tech, .app, .shop, .blog, .pro, .web, and .beauty, are managed by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
ICANN, established in 1998, is a non-profit public-benefit corporation with members from around the world dedicated to ensuring a global, unified, stable, and secure Internet.
Geographic domains
They are managed by the authorities of the respective country.
In Spain, the public business entity Red.es, part of the Spanish government, is responsible for the registration of Internet domain names under the country code top-level domain .es.
Regional domain names, for example: .es, .fr, .it, .uk, .cn, .us, .ru.
Third-level domains.
A third-level domain combines a generic domain with a specific country domain: example.com.es. The ending indicates that it is a generic domain but specifically for users in Spain.
Commercial Register.
The “Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce”, in effect since October 2002, requires companies that provide services via the internet to notify the Commercial Register where they are registered, or any other public register where they obtained legal personality, of a domain name or the address they use for identification on the Internet, within one month of acquiring, changing, or canceling it.
Brands and Domain Names.
The owner of a registered brand has the right to prevent it from being used as a domain name by third parties.
