A domain name is used so we humans can find sites on the internet without using "dotted quad" notation. Let's look at a web address for an example.

The domain part of the address is everything to the right of the "www.". Each domain must be unique and must be registered with Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers through a business like register.com.
