When reading a website it is important to look at the domain name. The domain name can give you an idea of how reliable the site is. Some websites will not have real information, this will cause you to have the wrong idea about a subject. The domain names also can help you figure out who wrote the website. If the domain name is .gov, it is going to be more reliable than a websit with .com. Also when you are reading a website you need to make sure that you stick with domain names that will provide true information. If the domain name is .com, the information might not be as reliable as a domain with .gov or .edu. This is because .com can be made by anyone, while .gov is from the government. .edu is from a college or university. Another reasson that its important to look at the domain name, is that sometimes the author of the site is not provided. In this case the domain name can help you see if the website has true.
