letter from app developer in hindi Without disclosing his name, the app developer wrote, “I am an app developer in Delhi and working on my startup. While browsing social media in early 2023, I came across a news that Disney+ Hotstar was continuously losing its active users after losing the IPL streaming license and that there was a possibility of selling Disney+ Hotstar to an Indian competitor or to consider a merger.
After reading this news, it occurred to me that there was talk of merger between Sony and Zee, so Reliance-owned company Viacom 18 would remain the only big company to buy Disney+ Hotstar Is.
I remembered that when Jio bought the music streaming service Saavn, they renamed it JioSaavn and changed the domain from Saavn.com to JioSaavn.com. So I thought they could name this domain Jiohotstar.com.
The University of Cambridge offers a comprehensive degree program in entrepreneurship. It was my dream to study this, but I couldn’t afford it. If this merger goes through, it will make my dream of studying at Cambridge come true.

What is a domain? In the Internet world, a domain is the address of a website, which is used to make the website accessible on the Internet. It is also a unique identifier of the website, through which users can access the website while browsing the web. The domain has two parts. It consists of a top-level domain (TLD) and a second-level domain (SLD).
TLD- This is the topmost part of the domain and indicates the type of website or the corresponding republic address. Like- .com (commercial), .org (organization), .net (network), .gov (government) and .edu (educational), etc.SLD- It is located under the top-level domain and is the special name of the website. For example, Indianewsget is an SLD as far as Indianewsget.com is concerned.
Domain name registration is carried out by the domain manager. Domain managers register new domain names. Domains are translated into IP addresses through the Domain Name System (DNS) so that computers can locate and connect to resources on the Internet. When you type a domain name into a web browser, the DNS system translates that name into a corresponding IP address, allowing you to access the website.
