example.foo.com is a domain as foo.com, com. | | |
| ▲ | akerl_ 3 days ago | parent [-] | | This feels like you've accidentally waxed pedantic a bit. In common parlance, com is a TLD, example.com is a domain, foo.example.com is a subdomain. The suffix list is designed to capture all of that and maps to how it's used (you take the suffix list and check if anything in it is a suffix map for the name you've been given). | | |
| ▲ | roelschroeven 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I always thought: - com, example.com, foo.example.com are all domains
- com is a TLD
- subdomain is a relative term, not an absolute one:
. example.com is a subdomain of com
. foo.example.com is a subdomain of example.com
. bar.foo.example.com is a subdomain of foo.example.com

| ▲ | akerl_ 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Yup, you’re correct. But in common usage, it would be weird to refer to example.com as a subdomain. Depending on the context, it would also be weird to refer to foo.example.com as a domain instead of a subdomain. If somebody asked me what domain you’re using and you said “com”, you would technically have answered accurately but they’d be confused. | | |
