ETech LAS 7 Domain Names

The document discusses domain names, which provide easier to remember names than IP addresses for internet resources. A domain name consists of labels joined by dots and read from right to left, with the top-level domain (TLD) like .com or .ph at the end. Second-level domains usually indicate a company or organization, while third-level domains often specify a server type.

Domain name – (often referred as domain) is a text-based identification or


label to indicate control or ownership of Internet resources. Its purpose is to provide
names that are easier to be memorized by Internet users rather than the numerical
addresses used in Internet protocols (IP).

The maximum length of a full domain name is 253 ASCII characters that can
be comprised of one or more labels, conventionally concatenated or joined
together with a full stop (dot), such as ‘google.com’. Reading domain names from
right to left gives the hierarchy of levels or categories called subdomains.

1. Top-level domain (TLD) - highest level of domain names divided into two
main groups:
a. the generic top-level domains (gTLD) such as com, info, gov, net, edu,
and org.
b. the country code top-level domains (ccTLD) such as ph for the
Philippines and vn for Vietnam. Every domain name always ends with a
TLD label.
2. Second-level domain (SLD) - usually based on the name of a company,
product, or service such as ‘co’ in bbc.co.uk and ‘info’ in info.com.
3. Third-level domain - commonly used to indicate the type of host server.
For example, ftp.example.com has a FTP (file transfer protocol) server,
www.whatis.com could be a World Wide Web server, and mail.google.com
uses an email server. Other lower-level domains are usually open for
reservation for other end-users.

Exercise:
Give two other examples of domain names. Indicate the TLD, SLD and third-
level domain for each example.
