No the domain is very important.
Although we see .com, .co.uk etc, computers don't, as they work simply on binary, 1's and 0's and see other computers using an IP address
eg
192.168.45.46,
but the computer converts this further to binary so that particular IP address would be
1100000.10101000.00100101.00100110
Humans aren't particularly good at reading vast numbers at any given go, hence the shortness of the telephone number etc. To make it easier for humans, the domain naming system was introduced
The Ip address is stored on a MASSIVE database or DNS, read this howstuffworks article for a superb explanation about how it all works
Please post your query to the boards, so that others can learn
Remember there is no such thing as a simple question, just a question you don't know the answer to, though they are the easiest to answer
