# 1. Definition of a Domain

### **What is a domain?**

**Domain** is the address of a website on the internet; it serves as the identifier for every website. A domain name helps users easily recognize and remember your website. You can think of a domain name like a home address or a zipcode that helps to locate the site. With a domain name, users can find your website. Each domain name is unique, and if someone else has already purchased a domain name, you will not be able to buy it.

### **Meaning of some common domain extensions:**

After purchasing a domain, you will need to point this domain to ShopOne's hosting, and then link it to the landing pages you have created. Once you have purchased a domain, you can create multiple subdomains:

For example, if your domain is: **tenmien.vn**, you can create multiple subdomains such as: **tintuc.tenmien.vn, san-pham.tenmien.vn, blog.tenmien.vn,...**

After pointing the domain to the ShopOne system, you can also create directories and link them to specific landing pages: **tenmien.vn/sanpham1, tenmien.vn/san-pham, tenmien.vn/gioi-thieu,...**

**Note**: After pointing the domain, you will need to wait for the domain provider to update the information. This may take up to 24 hours, although it can often be faster (usually within 2 hours, depending on the domain provider you registered with).
