A small dot placed at the end of a line of text, such as at the end of this sentence is usually called a "full stop" in British English. The term "period" is only used in the US and Canada.

In a web address the small dot between each sections is referred to a "dot" to make it globally recognisable in English conversation. After all it is a dot.

In Morse Code, a short beep is also called a dot, whereas a long beep is called a dash.

Why can't I use periods when I try making a domain?

Because a period in a web address other that www. and .com, like www.my.website.com refers to a subdomain. You still need a registered domain before you can create a sub domain. If you really want a period in the web address, then register the second part as the domain (in this case, website.com) then create a subdomain (my) so that you can use the web address my.website.com.
