What are the parts of a domain name?

So you understand parts of a URL, but how about parts of a domain?

Domains consist of several components, typically separated by periods. They range from general to more specific identifiers.

A domain name written in black text on a white background with different brackets highlighting the domain name, TLD, SLD, protocol, etc.

Top-level domain

The top-level domain (TLD) is commonly referred to as the domain name extension. In the case of wordpress.com, the TLD is .com.
