218407 2004-02-26 21:59:00 What is the difference between internet addresses and domain names?

An internet address (a URL, or Uniform Resource Locator) contains a domain name.

h t t p://xtra.co.nz is an internet address (URL) containing the domain name of xtra.co.nz.
h t t p://xtra.co.nz/help is another example where the path following the domain leads you to a specific webpage within the domain.

I have my own domain name but do not have a web address as I have no need of one. I have the domain to give me a recognisable email address "myname@mydomain.co.nz" looks better than "myname@xtra.co.nz" as an example.

Client software is installed on your PC.
Server software is installed on the network (or internet) system that you connect to.

218410 2004-02-26 23:21:00 IMO it was IRC, Email, and IM apps!

Suddenly people realised how easy it was for Joe Bloggs at home to communicate with their long lost aunt from the other side of the world!

That's just my thoughts anyway....

For the price of internet access one can have unlimited porn,compared to 15 bucks for a Penthouse mag with 3 pictorials.
