The name, also known as the second-level domain, is the unique identifier of the website. The domain extension comes after the second-level domain. Domain extensions are also referred to as the top-level domains, or TLDs. These terms are used interchangeably.

A domain name is the unique web address used to identify a specific website on the internet, such as "example.com." It serves as the human-readable label for accessing a particular online location.

On the other hand, a domain name extension, also known as a top-level domain (TLD), is the part of the domain name that comes after the last dot, such as ".com," ".org," or ".net." It categorizes or signifies the type or purpose of the website, and different extensions often serve specific functions.
