Frequently Asked Questions
Question
What is a domain name
and what is our domain name?
Answer
Our domain name is UHV.
Technically, a domain name (Web address) is an
addressing construct used for identifying and locating
computers on the Internet. While computers use
Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate each other on
the Internet, people find them hard to remember.
Therefore, domain names (Web addresses) were developed
to permit the use of easily remembered words and
phrases to identify Internet addresses.
For example, the domain name (Web address) uhv.edu
represents the UHV Web site. When you type uhv.edu
into a Web browser or send e-mail to someone at
uhv.edu, the Domain Name System (DNS) translates
uhv.edu into the IP numbers used by the Internet and
connects you to UHV. |
