Top-Level Domain |

Top-level domains (TLD) are always those separated by a dot at the end of an Internet address (for example, "http://www.magix.com" < here, .com is the top-level domain). Amongst these are also country top-level domains, such as, .co.uk, .us, .de as well as so-called generic top-level domains like .net, .org, .biz, and so on. |

Domain |
|

A domain is the website's Internet address. It consists of the top-level domain (such as .com, .de), the second-level domain (such as magix.com) and the computer or network name (such as www). Altogether we have: networkname.second-level-domain.top-level-domain (such as "http://www.magix.com"). Domains are allocated by a country's so-called NIC (Network Information Center). In Germany the DENIC is responsible for the release of domains. MAGIX takes care of this registration and technical maintenance of your domain as well as the webhosting of your site (created with MAGIX Website Maker). |
