For most people, the digital economy refers to the businesses conducted on the Internet. However, the digital economy is broader than this. The digital economy represents the pervasive use of IT (hardware, software, applications and telecommunications) in all aspects of the economy, including internal operations of organizations (business, government and non-profit). One of the tools that have enhanced the growth of the digital economy is the domain name. It has enhanced easy communication between the devices and the users. At the global scene, technology has become the major driving force for economic growth and the domain name system is one of the tools that have facilitated that growth.
