Add Italian second-level domain there are one for every region and province, one for government. See this page for list: https://www.register.it/domains/free_it.html?lang=en — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.252.108.239 (talk) 17:10, 31 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Public suffix domain edit

PSD is the correct term to denote .co.uk as well as .com. In fact, second level is ambiguous inasmuch as level counting results in the number 2 for example.com as well as for co.uk. Its usage should at least be considered improper. ale (talk) 09:30, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Rightmost node rule edit

The lead currently says:

Some TLDs now break the traditional rule that a TLD is the right most node in a URL.

I don't understand what is meant. Surely every fully-qualified hostname has the TLD on the "rightmost node"?

The way it's phrased now, it sounds wrong anyway; if I have my domain search list set to example.org, I can type https://myhost/ and I will correctly reach the host myhost.example.org. Here, the rightmost "node" is actually a third-level domain name label. Depending on your ndots setting, you can extend this to https://theirhost.department/ to get to theirhost.department.example.org. Could somebody please extend the article to explain what is meant? Alternatively, we could just drop it. Digital Brains (talk) 09:53, 21 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
