A group of computers or devices that shares a common directory database and is administered as a unit. On the Internet, domains organize network addresses into hierarchical subsets. For example, the .com domain identifies host systems used for commercial business.

A domain is a group of computers and devices on a network that are administered as a unit with common rules and procedures. Within the Internet, domains are defined by the IP address. All devices sharing a common part of the IP address are said to be in the same domain.

Part of an Internet address. The network hierarchy consists of domains and subdomains. At the top are a number of major categories (e.g., com, edu, gov); next are domains within these categories (e.g., ohio-state); and then there are subdomains. The computer name is at the lowest level of the hierarchy.

An Internet domain refers to a networked computer accessible through a host, or domain, name. A domain identity includes a distinguishing suffix such as .com (commercial), .edu (educational, primarily in the U.S.), .net (network operations), .gov (U.S. government). Most countries also have a domain. For example, .uk (United Kingdom), .au (Australia).

a defined Internet location or set of addressable computers, usually indicated in the last parts of an Internet address; for example the ucdavis.edu part of the hierarchical designation like fzstenze@peseta.ucdavis.edu, with the .edu signifying a US educational domain; company domains are designated with .com (as in timewaste.com), organizations with .org (as in dogooders.org).

typically the last three letters of an Internet address represent the domain or particular section of the Internet. Major domain suffixes are listed below: .edu - Educational Institutions; .gov - US Government; .com - Commercial (business); .net - Network Infrastructure Organizations; .org - Non-profit Organizations; .mil - military organizations and country codes such as .ca for Canada, .fr for France, and .jp for Japan.

Hierarchical scheme for indicating logical and sometimes geographical venue of a web-page from the network. In the US, common domains are .edu (education), .gov (government agency), .net (network related), .com (commercial), .org (nonprofit and research organizations). Outside the US, domains indicate country: ca (Canada), uk (United Kingdom), au (Australia), jp (Japan), fr (France), etc. Neither of these lists is exhaustive. See also DNS entry.

An internet 'domain' is a subsection of the internet. The primary domains of the internet are .COM, .INT, .NET, .MIL, and .ORG, which refer to Commercial, International, Network, Military, and Organization. These domains are administered by the Internic. There are also two-letter domains associated with specific countries. Each domain has a primary and secondary Domain Name Server associated with it.

This is the Windows NT/2000/XP domain name for Netbios/WINS. You should not use this unless directed to do so by your ISP. This is not the Internet domain name. It is commonly used when dialing corporate networks.

A sub-set of internet addresses. Domains are hierarchical, and lower-level domains often refer to particular web sites within a top-level domain. The most significant part of the address comes at the end - typical top-level domains are .com, .edu, .gov, .org (which sub-divide addresses into areas of use). There are also various geographic top-level domains (e.g. .ar, .ca, .fr, .ro etc.) referring to particular countries.

An internet 'domain' is a subsection of the internet. The domain can be thought of as an entities presence on the Internet. The primary domains of the internet end with the extensions .COM, .NET, .MIL, and .ORG, which refer to Commercial, Network, Military, and Organization. These domains are administered by the Internic.

A domain is the main subdivision of Internet addresses, the last three letters after the final dot, and it tells you what kind of organization you are dealing with. There are six top-level domains widely used in the US: .com (commercial) .edu (educational),.net (network operations), .gov (US government), .mil (US military) and .org (organization). Other, two letter domains represent countries; thus;.uk for the United Kingdom and so on.

A group of computers whose hostnames share a common suffix, the domain name. The last component of this is the top-level domain.

A grouping of servers and other network objects under a single name. Domains provide the following benefits: You can group objects into domains to help reflect your company's organization in your computer network. Each domain stores only the information about the objects located in that domain. By partitioning the directory information this way, the Active Directory scales up to as many objects as you need to store information about on your network. Each domain is a security boundary — this means that security policies and settings (such as administrative rights, security policies, and ACLs) do not cross from one domain to another. The administrator of a domain has absolute rights to set policies within that domain only.

On the internet most computers are assigned domain names which can be used to identify them. Domain names consist of two or more parts separated by periods, for example "summary.net". You can refer to all of the computers that share some right hand portion of a name as being in the same domain, for example "www.summary.net" and "mail.summary.net" are both in the "summary.net" domain.

A domain is the main subdivision of internet addresses, the last three letters after the final dot, and it tells you what kind of organization you are dealing with. In the U.S. the standard domains are: DOMAIN - MEANING .com - commercial .edu - educational .gov - governmental .mil - military .org - non-profit organization .net - network

A "logical" region of the Internet. People sometimes refer to them loosely as "sites." Generally, a domain corresponds to an IP address or an area on a host. You'll also find it to the right of the @ sign in an email address, or about ten characters into a URL. CNET's domain name is cnet.com. The domain name of daemous@pentagon.io.com is io.com. Domain names are issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and they come with different extensions based on whether the domain belongs to a commerical enterprise (.com), an educational establishment (.edu), a government body (.gov), the military (.mil), a network (.net), or a nonprofit organization (.org). Some domains use a geographical notation too (such as the San Francisco, California-based well.sf.ca.us).

The Internet is set up hierarchically, and the domain is the last part of the address which descibes the type of general category, for example: .COM - commercial, .EDU - educational institution usually in the U.S., .GOV - U.S.Government, .NET - Internet Operations, .ORG - non-profit organization. Also there are many 2 letter country code designations (.UK for United Kingdom, .CA for Canada, etc.)

A domain is the next to largest group in an Internet address. (The largest is the network, or top-level domain; there are seven of those in the U.S., and at least one for every other country.) Most institutions, such as Ohio University, have their own domain. Each domain may contain many sub-domains. Sub-domains are often departmental LANs or "sub-nets"; for example, "helios.phy.ohiou.edu" and "bigbird.cs.ohiou.edu" are systems operated by the Physics and Computer Science departments, respectively.

The overall name of a particular web site, in the form . The name will usually be descriptive of the site in some way. For example, the domain name of this site is "sheldonbrown.com." The suffix indicates what type of site it is: .com (commercial), .edu (educational), .mil(military), .org (organization), .net (network). Domains outside of the U.S. commonly end with a suffix which speficies which country they are from: .au (Australia), .ca (Canada), .de (Germany), .fr (France), .jp (Japan) .uk (United Kingdom)... The domain name is an essential part of a URL.

In general, a group of computers and other devices under the management of a single administrator or administrative entity. In the Internet, a domain identifies a range of IP addresses and mail-forwarding information. See DNS.

The Internet is divided into smaller sets known as domains, including .com (business), .gov (government), .edu (educational) and others. A domain represents a level of the hierarchy in the Domain Name Space. For example, the domain name "icsa.net" represents the second level domain "icsa" which is a subset, or sub-domain, of the top level domain "net," which is in turn a larger subset of the total Domain Name Space.

There are six top-level domains widely used: .com (commercial) .edu (educational),.net (network operations), .gov (US government), .mil (US military) and .org (organization). Other, two letter domains represent countries; thus;.uk for the United Kingdom, .dk for Denmark, .fr for France, .de for Germany, .es for Spain, .it for Italy and so on.

A group of computers and devices on a network that are administered as a unit with common rules and procedures. Within the Internet, domains are defined by the IP address. All devices sharing a common part of the IP address are said to be in the same domain.

An area of the file system reserved for software, documents, and resources and limiting the applicability of those items. A domain is segregated from other domains. There are four domains: user, local, network, and system.
