The URL in the address bar in your browser is comprised of several components. First is the protocol used to transfer the files from the web server to your web browser (commonly HTTP or HTTPS) next comes the domain name (which is itself comprised of several parts), followed by the directory path to the specific web page to be loaded. The part after the domain name might look like: /path/to/web/page The domain name is comprised of several parts. The first is the top-level domain, for example .com, .net, .org, .us, etc. Next comes the second-level domain name, in our example above this would be "example" Second level-domain names come directly to the left of the top-level domain (the .com, .net, etc.). You can have third level-domains which come immediately to the left of a second level domain (in our example the "www" is a third-level domain). You can have fourth- and fifth-level domains and so on.
False. The second part is the domain name, the first is an account identifier, nothing more.

.EDU is an abbreviation for "education." It's a generic top-level domain (gTLD) of the internet Domain Name System (DNS). To register a .EDU domain name, the registrant must be a U.S.-affiliated institution of higher education.
The last part of a domain name is very important. It is specified and explains your website category like .com is used for business, .edu is used for education, .in is used for information and .gov is used for government website.
Registering your domain name is very easy. Most Web hosts will help you do this when you create your website with them. The hardest part is deciding on a name for your domain.
The top-level domain is the last part of a URL (Uniform Resource Locator, commonly known as a web address) which identifies either the type of url (eg .com, .org) or a country (eg .uk, .ca). The types of URL include: .AERO - air transport industry .BIZ - business .COM - Commercial or Company .EDU - US Educational establishment; other countries use .EDU.<country_tld> .EU - European Union .GOV - US Government; other countries use .GOV.<country_tld> .INFO - Information .NET - Network .ORG - Non-profit organisation; also under .ORG.<country_tld> With country top level domains, they are two letter codes which are intended to suggest that the URL relates to some organisation within that country. However with some countries, the two letter code are "impressive" enough to be wanted to be used by those outside the countries as a type; one in particular is that for Tuvalu or .TV which would be something a TV streaming service would be very interested in using when based anywhere in the world. The .US tld for the United States does exist, but is not very common; fr example where countries use .CO.<country_tld> to indicate a local company, US companies ([almost] exclusively) use .COM even though it can be used by non-US companies.
The last "section" of a domain name is called the "TLD" or "ccTLD". A TLD is a "Top Level Domain", including .com, .net and .org extensions. A ccTLD is a "Country Code Top Level Domain", such as .us (United States), .uk (England), .ie (Ireland), etc.
When you type http://www.wiki.answers.com that is an URL, the first part "htpp://" identifies the protocol, used to fetch the webpage, and the second part www.wiki.answers.com points it's domain name.
2 parts local part and domain part.
The Domain Name System (DNS) has a tree structure or hierarchy, with each node on the tree being a domain name. A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain, the only domain that isn't also a subdomain is the root domain.[2] For example, "mail.example.com" and "calendar.example.com" are subdomains of the "example.com" domain, which in turn is a subdomain of the "com" top-level domain (TLD). A "subdomain" expresses relative dependence, not absolute dependence: for example, wikipedia.org comprises a subdomain of the org domain, and en.wikipedia.org comprises a subdomain of the domain wikipedia.org. In theory, this subdivision can go down to 127 levels deep, and each DNS label can contain up to 63 characters, as long as the whole domain name does not exceed a total length of 255 characters. But in practice some domain registries have shorter limits than that.
