Domain name

A domain name is a name of a computer on the Internet that distinguishes it from the other systems on the network. They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as "web addresses".

Unconventional domain names

Due to the rarity of one-word dot-com domain names, many unconventional domain names, domain hacks, have been gaining popularity. They make use of the top-level domain as an integral part of the website's title. Two of the most visited domain hack websites are del.icio.us and blo.gs, which spell out 'delicious' and 'blogs', respectively.

Some unconventional domain names are also used to create email hacks. One non-working example is the use of m.es to produce the email hack, j@m.es (James).
