Subdomain
The independent area of a domain is called the subdomain. The name of the
respective subdomain is written before the domain name. The MAGIX domain
looks like this: http://www.magix.net. A possible subdomain could therefore be
"http://your-name.magix.net". You can create as many of these as you like.
T
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). Among 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.
Traffic

as data is transferred across the Internet: for example, when uploading or
downloading files to your website or when someone else opens your website.
U
URL
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and describes where a source can
be found online (for example, a website). The address or the path to the
storage location of a file on your computer is known as a URL. Often the term
URL is used as a term for the domain. The URL for the MAGIX website is:
http://www.magix.co.uk
