Difference
domain name and site URL
It
is better to give you an example to explain the different
between domain name and site URL(or web site).
For example, our MAIN
web site is http://www.dynamicsoftware.com, under this
web site, it contains following web pages:
http://www.dynamicsoftware.com/products.html
http://www.dynamicsoftware.com/support.html
http://www.dynamicsoftware.com/order.html
.............
http://www.dynamicsoftware.com/contactus.html
where "dynamicsoftware.com"
is a DOMAIN NAME, and all the web page addresses above
are the URL.
One "domain"
can have many URLs.
What is a Web Site?
The name "Web Site" is very confusing. Normally
a "web site" refers to the whole set of
web pages under the same domain name. For example,
you can say my web site is http://www.dynamicsoftware.com
or apexpacific.com which contains all the web pages
about our business. In this case, it refers to the
domain name of the web site.
However, some times
people also say my web site is http://www.dynamicsoftware.com/products.html.
In this case, the "web site" refer to a
single page or an URL.
