What is an email domain?
Simply put, a domain is the part of your email address that comes after the @ symbol, like @mail.com, @email.com, or @usa.com. It works like a virtual street name and makes sure that your email gets sent to the right place. Each email domain is linked to a certain number of mail servers. So, for example, an email sent to an address ending in one of mail.com’s 100+ domain names will be sent to the servers in our company’s data center.
An email domain can have almost an infinite number of email addresses. Just think of all the different ways you could start an email address with the @mail.com domain! The name in front of the email domain is what makes your email address unique and lets email get to your inbox, just like the number of your house or apartment in your postal address.
