Internet protocols are standard set of rules that all devices connected to the internet and networks to follows.
The way we need a set of rules for organising the physical locations of buildings with address numbers, street names, and zip codes, likewise we need a set of rules for navigating to specific locations on the internet.
Every computer or device that connects to the internet has its own address.
Each individual website also has its own internet address.
Each local network of computers like the wireless router at your house has its own internet address.
Internet address allows data to move back and forth on the internet. It also allows computers and networks to identify one another.
Domain names are text-based internet addresses. For example, our domain name is davidodigitalsolutions.com
There are several different endings to domain names. These are called top-level domains (TLD), and they often indicate the type or purpose of a website. The most common, called generic top-level domains (gTLD), are .com, .co.ke, .ke, .or.ke, .ac.ke, .go.ke, .net, and .org.
The .ac.ke and .go.ke are restricted to educational and government institutions respectively.
A top-level domain tells you the type or purpose of a website.
Universal resource locators (URLs) are internet addresses that identify specific webpages. For example, www.davidodigitalsolutions.com
