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]

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]

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]
