## Domain

Also known as domain name, a domain is the string of text that identifies a specific website, such as `google.com` or `facebook.com`. Every time you access a website from your web browser, a DNS query takes place and the domain name is mapped to the actual IP address where the website is hosted.

## Zone
You can register a domain name at cost through [Cloudflare Registrar](/registrar/). Every domain acquired through Cloudflare Registrar must also use Cloudflare as [primary authoritative DNS](#authoritative-dns).
