Domain name
Definition by Best Host Ratings
It is the name of your site. It is unique - there cannot be two sites with using one and the same domain name. Domain Names always have 2 or more parts separated by dots. The part on the right denotes the TLD(top level domain part). It can be .com, .net, .org while the other part is the actual name of your site. It is called SLD(second level domain name). The one responsible for the International TLDs is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). There are also CC(country code) TLDs - e.g .uk, .fr, .it
