What is a domain?

A domain starts out as a blank canvas. Probably like an architect sees an empty plot of land at a specific address in an existing neighborhood.

A website is like a house or a business built on that land.

A domain’s “neighbors” are other similar domain names, and also those websites [1] returned by search engines by typing in those (or related) words.

So for example, a Google search for “every american” shows the current virtual neighborhood for this domain. Like any other neighborhood, the nearby properties (domains and websites) are always changing.

  1. In the context provided, “websites” refer to the digital structures or content created on a domain, similar to how a house or business is constructed on a physical plot of land. Just as a building is designed and built to serve a specific purpose and function at a particular address in a neighborhood, a website is developed and hosted on a domain, serving as the online presence or service for users who visit that internet address. Websites are the formatted pages, media, and interactive elements that users navigate and interact with, composed of the layout, text, images, and functionality that fulfill the domain’s intended purpose.
