is the address where Internet users can access your
website. A domain name is used for finding and
identifying computers on the Internet.

number. However, it is difficult for humans to
remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain
names were developed and used to identify entities on

No two websites can have the same domain

Pure EC, because the ordering, processing and
delivery to the buyer are all digital.”
