What is a FQDN?

FQDN stands for Fully Qualified Domain Name. A domain name is a text code like example.com. When we have a text code like www.example.com, we say www is a subdomain. Both example.com (i.e. the root domain) and www.example.com can be an FQDN, e.g. they can both be websites, and even completely different websites.
