Second-Level Domains

A second-level domain (SLD) is the part of a website address (URL) that comes directly before the top-level domain (TLD), such as .com or .org. For example, in www.example.com, "example" is the second-level domain. It is primarily chosen by the website owner and typically represents the organization, brand, or purpose of the site. The second-level domain functions as the main identifier of a website within a specific TLD, helping users recognize and access the site easily.
