- The Internet is an enormous repository of information, contained on individual web pages, organized into websites. To locate a specific web page requires the use of an Internet Protocol number, which is like a telephone number or street address. These numbers consist of four groups of digits separated by periods (e.g., "192.215.247.50"). Because it would be extremely difficult for users to remember these sequences of numbers, the Domain Name System was developed to make it easier for users to locate web-based information.

- The Internet is an enormous repository of information, contained on individual web pages, organized into websites. To locate a specific web page requires the use of an Internet Protocol number, which is like a telephone number or street address. These numbers consist of four groups of digits separated by periods (e.g., "192.215.247.50"). Because it would be extremely difficult for users to remember these sequences of numbers, the Domain Name System was developed to make it easier for users to locate web-based information. Each domain name consist of a unique string of characters (letters, numbers and certain symbols), arranged so that reading from right to left, each part of the name points to a more localized area of the Internet. For example, in the domain name "iii.org.tw", the ".tw" is the country code, which means that the domain name is located on a computer in Taiwan, the ".org" is known as the top-level domain, reserved for educational institutions, while the "iii" specifies a second-level domain, a website owned by the Information Industry Institute. Figure 2 illustrates the hierarchical organization of domain names with examples, including a number of the original top-level domains and the country-code top-level domain for the United States. If a user knows or can deduce the domain name associated with a website, the user can directly access the website by typing the domain name into a web browser, without having to conduct a time-consuming search. Because users often try to "guess" the domain name to avoid searching for the website, having an easy-to-remember domain name is a distinct advantage. Otherwise, the user may have to engage in a lengthy search to locate the desired website.
