An e-mail address typically has two main parts:
editor@internet-guide.co.uk
- The first field is the user name (editor) which refers to the recipient’s mailbox.
- Then there is the sign (@) which is the same in every email address.
- Then comes the host name (internet-guide), which can also be called the domain name. This refers to the mail server address, most usually having an individual IP address.
- The final part of an email address includes the top-level domain (TLD). For the above address this is ‘co.uk-, which is for commercial sites based in the UK.
