DNS: The Domain Name System is a hierarchical naming system for Internet resources. It acts like a ‘phone book’ for the Internet, translating domain names (e.g. www.easynetconnect.net) into the IP address of the web server that hosts that domain (e.g. 195.40.70.11). All of Easynet Connect’s business Internet access products enable you to register your domain (or transfer it, if already registered) on the domain name system, so that your web site can be found on our servers.
Domains: Domains are proprietary ways of labelling web sites and their content. So, an example of a domain name is www.easynetconnect.net. This web site can be accessed at the URL http://www.easynetconnect.net, using the domain name system to locate its web server and the http protocol to request and receive content from it. All of Easynet Connect’s business Internet access products offer hosting for a single domain.
