Domain names are host name which gives identity to internet Protocol on internet. There are more than 2 crore websites at present and searching and memorizing a website is very difficult if it have IP Address with some numbers only. So Domain Name System's (DNS) rules and procedures are followed while giving a name to the website.
The domains are registered with the Domain Registrar who governs and administer the domains.
Simplified: If we did not use domain names, you would have to type a string of numbers (an IP address) to get to any website. For most websites, you would also have to type a port number and / or a user or file name.
Example (actual IP not used): "67.196.138.62/~answers" or something similar would be used to access the home page of the answers website.
Most modern websites have the ability to access them with an IP address disabled for the public. So I guess the true answer is, you wouldn't be able to access many sites at all without domain names.

The URL in the address bar in your browser is comprised of several components. First is the protocol used to transfer the files from the web server to your web browser (commonly HTTP or HTTPS) next comes the domain name (which is itself comprised of several parts), followed by the directory path to the specific web page to be loaded. The part after the domain name might look like: /path/to/web/page The domain name is comprised of several parts. The first is the top-level domain, for example .com, .net, .org, .us, etc. Next comes the second-level domain name, in our example above this would be "example" Second level-domain names come directly to the left of the top-level domain (the .com, .net, etc.).
