What is the part of a URL before the domain name called?

Tags:

html

web

So I have 2 questions:

  1. What is this part called? en.wikipedia.org, the part before the domain name.
  2. I wanted to make something like that for my website, like firstName.lastName.web For my personal page on my family web site.

    How do I do that? I know that if I just put a folder in the root folder, its treated as a /. Like so: lastName.web/firstName.HTML. That's fine, but not what I wanted.

The part after the TLD is known as the 'path'. This is because it directs the browser to a specific page on the website.

What are the parts of a domain name called?

Domain names are the unique, human-readable Internet addresses of websites. They are made up of three parts: a top-level domain (sometimes called an extension or domain suffix), a domain name (or IP address), and an optional subdomain.

It's called a subdomain. Creating a subdomain varies on who you have your domain name registered to. A quick google search should be able to solve this for you.
