In fact, the com TLD is a subdomain of the root domain, (.). This hierarchical organisation is similar to that in a filesystem; something is a subdomain if it could be equated to a folder, and a record within that subdomain to a file. Note, though, that DNS names are written in descending hierarchy right-to-left, where filesystems are written left-to-right. |
