An example of a domain name – http://sub.example.com.
All of these domain levels are separated with a "dot".

DOMAIN NAME TIPS
Memorable: It should be easy to type, easy to say and easy to remember. You can make up a word so long as it's brandable, unique, and easy to pronounce. Think of words that describe your business or simply use your business name.
Display initiative: If you have your own unique domain name, you present to the world that you are aware of the requirements for building a business online. Your domain name might be simple and small, but this might give you a competitive advantage.
Make it easy for visitors to identify: Having an easy to type and memorize domain name can be critical to your success online. Please note that the presence of slang or words that have multiple spellings is not recommended as it could lead to potential visitors landing on the wrong domain name when they actually wanted to find yours.
Choose the correct TLD: TLD is the technical term for domain name extension. It's the abbreviated version for Top Level Domain – the part that comes at the end of a web address. The most common extensions are .com, .org, .net, but there are hundreds more of them.

Domains FAQ
The most Frequently Asked Questions about Domains, can be found below:
Your domain name is your website's name and points to the location where your website content resides. A domain name is a unique address where Internet users can access your website, like http://www.BWSCloud.tech. A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers and contains a specific domain name extension (also known as Top-Level Domains, or TLDs for short), such as .co.za, .com, .net and more.
A top-level domain is an element located after the last dot, the final segment of your domain name. It is also called a domain suffix – as it is at the end of the domain name.
To make it more straightforward, let's break down an example domain name – sub.example.com.
sub – is the subdomain
example – is the mid-level domain
com – is the top-level domain
A 'dot' separates the domain levels.
A domain name is an address for your business on the internet. It helps others locate your website.
