What Is A Computer Domain Name Used For?

At the moment I use DynDNS and have a Computer Domain Name but I only use it to check my torrent with WebUI. What else can it be used for?

    hi,
    Each computer directly connected to the Internet has at least one specific IP address. However, users do not want to work with numerical addresses such as 194.153.205.26 but with a domain name or more specifically addresses (called FQDN addresses) such as http://www.commentcamarche.net.
    It is possible to associate names in normal language with numerical addresses thanks to a system called DNS (Domain Name System).
    This correlation between the IP addresses and the associated domain name is called domain name resolution (or address resolution).
