In terms of technology the term 'domain name' refers to a collection of characters -- some domain registrars enforce a limit of 63 characters -- that signify a unique domain within the structure of the internet.

A domain name, then, becomes the entry point into an Internet 'presence' that can contain Web pages, e-mail addresses, interactive applications and so forth.

A domain name is only part of the domain's address. For example, in this example, only wiki.answers is the domain name:
