What Does FQDN Stand For?

FQDN stands for Fully Qualified Domain Name

FQDN, or Fully Qualified Domain Name, is a complete domain name that specifies its precise location within the Domain Name System (DNS). It consists of a host name and a domain name, including all higher-level domains, ensuring that it is unambiguous and can be resolved to an IP address. An FQDN typically includes the top-level domain (TLD) and may look like "www.example.com". It is essential for networking, enabling accurate identification and access to services on the internet.
