Difference between an internet domain and a URL

A domain always begins with a name and an ending that identifies it nationally or internationally. 

A domain ending in .com is usually international or generic top-level domain, and .cl is usually national or geographic top-level domain, in this case, Chile. 

A URL always has https://www. before the domain name.

Examples of a domain and a URL:

• Domain: cleefcompany.com
• URL: https://www.cleefcompany.com

Difference between a secure and an insecure internet domain 

An internet domain considered secure always has the ending “s” after HTTP. 

A domain without the "s" after HTTP is considered insecure. 

It is recommended to make purchases on a website that has a security certificate. 

The"“ This certifies that there is an SSL security certificate installed on a website that ensures the secure transmission of encrypted information between the browser and the server.

In addition, browsers are starting to mark domains without an SSL security certificate as insecure.

Examples of a secure and insecure domain

• Sure: https://www.cleefcompany.com
• Unsure: http://www.minegocio.com

Difference between a subdomain and a domain

A subdomain is part of a main domain.

Without a main domain, there would be no subdomain. 

Example of a subdomain and a domain:

• Subdomain: https://webdesign.cleefcompany.com
• Domain: https://www.cleefcompany.com
