The domain is the website's name and protects its exclusive use.
Specifically, the domain is regulated by a protocol (DNS) that manages the allocation of your site on that specific space.
In reality, they are numbers but to facilitate usability, through this protocol they are transformed into letters.
Characteristics and elements of the web domain
The domain in its entirety is called Fully Qualified Domain Name.
The characteristics of a classic domain include:
- Third-level domain: the classic www for instance;
- Second-level domain: the part between www and the extension, that is, .it for instance;
- First-level domain or extension: it's the .it, .com and the new extensions like .shop, .pizza etc.
The domain is essentially the home of our website while the extension is its main feature.
It is increasingly important the protocol, that is http or https. In the case of e-commerce for example, the more secure https protocol is highly recommended but by now almost all hosting providers offer secure encryption which also helps optimization in terms of SEO, the so-called SSL certificate.
There are also subdomains.
A sort of subcategory useful for dividing the content of sites (example blog.xxx.it)
The domain is, therefore, a truly fundamental element for any web activity, it is the starting point for any project that wants to be developed online.
