Every website you visit starts with a <a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.co.ke\/blog\/how-domain-names-work\/\">domain name<\/a> which is your unique digital identity on the internet. This section explains what domain names are, how they are structured (especially in the context of Kenya\u2019s .ke domain), and why they are essential for navigating and building the web. Whether you\u2019re a business owner or simply curious, understanding this concept is the first step to mastering domain technologies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Domain_Name\"><\/span><strong>What is a Domain Name?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A domain name is your digital address on the internet. Just like a house needs a postal address, websites need domain names so people can find them. For example, \u201ctelahosting.co.ke\u201d is a domain name pointing to a Kenyan website.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_of_a_Domain_Name\"><\/span><strong>Structure of a Domain Name<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Domain names typically have two main parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Second-Level Domain (SLD):<\/strong> This is the main name (e.g., \u201ctelahosting\u201d in telahosting.co.ke).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top-Level Domain (TLD):<\/strong> This is the suffix (e.g., \u201c.ke\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, in a domain like business.co.ke, \u201cbusiness\u201d is the SLD, and \u201c.ke\u201d represents Kenya\u2019s country-code top-level domain.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction_to_ccTLDs_%E2%80%93_The_Case_of_ke\"><\/span><strong>Introduction to ccTLDs \u2013 The Case of .ke<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_ccTLD\"><\/span><strong>What is a ccTLD?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a domain extension assigned to a specific country.
