FQDN

- An (FQDN) - fully qualified domain name, consists of a host and domain name, including top-level domain.
- Ex. www.gordano.com is a fully qualified domain name. www is the host, gordano is the second-level domain, and .com is the top level domain.
- A FQDN always starts with a host name and continues all the way up to the top-level domain name, so www.test.gordano.com would be classed as a FQDN if it existed. 
- FQDN = Hostname + Primary DNS Suffix
- ipconfig /all
