What are the parts of a domain name?
A domain name is comprised of two principal parts: the second-level domain (SLD) and the top-level domain (TLD).
The SLD is the part that appears after “www.” in the above example. The maximum length of an SLD is 63 characters, but generally, you want to pick an SLD that is short, branded and easy to remember. Many businesses use their business name as their SLD.
The Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the last section, which in this case is the .com section. TLDs are also called “domain suffixes” or “domain extensions” and there are now many options besides .com that people can use for their domain names.
