What is it called when a website's domain is like:

http://baltimore.legistar.com

What is the baltimore.legistar part called?

I see this sometimes where there's a large website and they appended something else to it such as:

www.bigwebsite._____.org

I think for your webpage legistar is the main domain and baltimore is a subdomain.

  1. Protocol - The beginning of the url with https/http
  2. Domain name - The unique part to your URL. e.g. google in https://www.google.com/
  3. Path name - The path to a page on your website.

See https://doepud.co.uk/blog/anatomy-of-a-url for reference.
