Website domains are the specific URL that you type into your browser in order to access a specific web page. A website URL has a couple of components:

Protocol or scheme

Subdomain

Domain name or second-level domain

Top-level domain (TLD)

Subdirectory path or page URL

Most people will mainly have to look at the domain name, the pages, and TLD. The domain name is the distinctive identifier of your site ("" for .com), whereas the TLD is the domain extension (like .com, .net, or .org) as well as the page path represents a page on your website (like "/blog" on .com/blog).
