The domain name is a web address. Just as your address tells someone where to find your house, a web address directs you to a website. Companies and groups will sometimes buy the rights to a domain name that’s the same name as their company.

Just because you know the subject you want to look for doesn’t mean it has a domain name. You shouldn’t search for Dr. Martin Luther King under http://www.martinlutherking.com; you should use a search engine. There are many search engines listed on the Grand Prairie and Jackson sites.

Some domain names end in:
     .com (for commercial)      .mil (military)             .edu (educational) 
     .gov (government)           .org (organization)      .net (network)

What can you tell about these addresses?
