Answer

E-mail addresses are commonly written in the form given below:

username@hostname

An email-address has two parts separated by '@' symbol.

  1. Username — On the left side of @ separator is the user name. A user name can not have blanks.
  2. Domain name for the host server — The portion to the right of @ identifies the server or host or network that services your e-mail. It is sometimes also called the e-mail server.

For example, pacas@gmail.com, hello@kboat.in, etc.
