A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for a specific computer, or host, on the internet. The FQDN consists of two parts: the hostname and the domain name.
Additional info: you may see an FQDN as the following parts:
hostname - actual name of the device
subdomain - a part of the overall domain
domain - usually a company name
TLD - what area of the naming convention it appears in
so you could have:
sales.Midwest.us.Microsoft.com as a complete FQDN, with the name 'sales' as the actual device within the Midwest/us subdomains within the Microsoft domain within the com TLD area.
