What is the difference between a domain name and a domain name extension?

Kapil Lowanshi  Senior Seo Expert
The domain name is the full name of a website like

wscubetech.com,
yourstory.com,
bigrock.in,
upsc.gov.in, etc.
On the other hand, the extension of a domain name is the suffix. For example, the domain name extension, also called TLD (top-level domain), of wscubetech.com is .com. The same for bigrock.in is .in.

There are several types of domain name extensions available:

.com
.in
.net
.org
.edu
.co
.shop
.online
.wiki
.cab
.academy
.me
.app
Here is a comprehensive list of all the domain name extensions available for registration.

The name, also known as the second-level domain, is the unique identifier of the website. The domain extension comes after the second-level domain. Domain extensions are also referred to as the top-level domains, or TLDs. These terms are used interchangeably.

A domain name is the unique web address used to identify a specific website on the internet, such as "example.com." It serves as the human-readable label for accessing a particular online location.

On the other hand, a domain name extension, also known as a top-level domain (TLD), is the part of the domain name that comes after the last dot, such as ".com," ".org," or ".net." It categorizes or signifies the type or purpose of the website, and different extensions often serve specific functions. For instance, ".com" is commonly used for commercial websites, ".org" for non-profit organizations, and ".edu" for educational institutions. The combination of the domain name and its extension forms the complete web address that directs users to a specific website.

A domain name is the user-friendly web address that people type into their browsers to visit a specific website. It usually consists of words or phrases separated by dots, like "example" in "example.com." Domain names are essential for branding and making websites easy to find and remember.

On the other hand, a domain name extension, also known as a top-level domain (TLD), is the part of the domain name that comes after the dot. Common TLDs include .com, .org, .net, and .gov. TLDs categorize websites and often provide information about their purpose or origin. For instance, .com is widely associated with commercial sites, .org with nonprofit organizations, and .gov with government websites.

Both the domain name and the domain name extension work together to create a complete web address. The domain name represents the website's unique identity, while the TLD gives insights into its nature or affiliation. Together, they form the full web address that people use to access websites online.

A domain name and a domain name extension (also known as a top-level domain or TLD) are two components of a website's web address (URL), and they serve different purposes:

Domain Name:

The domain name is the part of a web address that is customizable and chosen by the website owner. It is the unique and user-friendly identifier that people type into their web browsers to access a specific website.

It typically consists of two parts: the second-level domain (SLD) and the top-level domain (TLD). For example, in "example.com," "example" is the second-level domain.
The second-level domain can be chosen to reflect the brand, purpose, or content of the website. It's the part of the domain name that gives a website its unique identity.

Domain Name Extension (Top-Level Domain - TLD):

The domain name extension is the last part of a domain name and comes after the dot. It indicates the category or type of website and is a hierarchical way of classifying domains.

Common TLDs include .com, .org, .net, .gov, .edu, and country-code TLDs like .uk, .ca, and .de. Newer TLDs like .app, .blog, and .guru have also been introduced to offer more specific options.

TLDs serve different purposes. For example, .com is generally associated with commercial websites, .org is often used by non-profit organizations, and country-code TLDs like .uk are specific to a particular country.

The main difference between a domain name and a domain name extension is that a domain name is the full address of a website, while a domain name extension is the part of the domain name that comes after the last dot.

What is Com and Net Domain Name Extensions?
A domain name is your website’s address on the internet. This is what your users will type in their browser to access your website. For example, wpbeginner.com

To learn more about domain names, see our beginner’s guide on what is a domain name and how do domains work.

Domain names come in various extensions like com, net, org, and more.

example.com
example.net
example.org

You can freely choose a domain name from any of these extensions to make a website. However, these extensions were created to distinguish between different types of websites.

A domain name is the unique address that identifies a website on the internet (e.g., example.com), while a domain name extension (or TLD - Top-Level Domain) is the suffix that follows the domain name, indicating its type or purpose (e.g., .com, .org, .net).
