Operating Your Fathershops Online Store with Your Current Domain
Understanding What a Domain Is
A domain is the unique name that identifies your website on the internet. It is maintained by a specific company with an independent internet presence and IP address. In the case of Fathershops.com, “fathershops” is the second-level domain, and “.com” is the top-level domain (TLD), indicating the purpose or geographical origin of the website. Common TLDs include .com, .org, .net, and country-specific ones like .uk or .in.
