fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

A fully qualified domain name consists of a host and domain name, including top-level domain. For example, www.mixpbx.com is a fully qualified domain name. www is the host, mixpbx is the second-level domain, and .com is the top level domain.

A FQDN always starts with a host name and continues all the way up to the top-level domain name.
