FQDN

networking

Stands for: Fully Qualified Domain Name

A complete domain name that specifies a host's exact location in DNS.

A Fully Qualified Domain Name gives the full path from host to root, like `www.example.com.`, leaving no ambiguity about which domain is meant - as opposed to a short or relative name that depends on a search suffix.
