What is an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)?

A FQDN (fully qualified domain name) is an entire domain name address, including hostname, domain name and top-level domain.

For example when entering a name server you will need to provide an FQDN such as ns1.domainindyra.com. Technically a FQDN requires a dot after the top-level domain (e.g. ns1.domainindyra.com.) to indicate the empty domain at the end of the address. However there is no need to add this final dot when using our control panel features.
