Information about ICT

*So I got Annoyed and had to Analyze this*

For those who are not into ICT or do not understand the ethics of the internet, please get this knowledge and hold on to it for your future decisions when people start posting rubbish links telling you to claim some unrealistic gifts or whatever.

In internet terminologies, we have what is called TLD which stands for *Top Level Domain*. The TLDs tell you more of the type of website you are visiting for which the domain is standing for. Examples are...
.com which stands for commercial (that's for businesses)
.org for organizations
.net for networks
.edu for education
.mil for military
.gov for government
Etc.

TLDs can also come by being country specific.
Examples are...
.ng for Nigeria
.fr for France
.us for USA
.uk for United Kingdom
Etc.

TLDs can still be matched for its purpose and country specific. Examples...
.com.ng for Nigerian commercial websites
.gov.ng for Nigerian government websites
Etc.

Now when people decide to create a website, they choose a name for their domain and for the purpose of the website, also choose its TLD. Example...
adisfunn.com
microsoft.com
safe-haven.win
church.net
nta.com.ng
scoan.org
Etc.

Now out of domains, we have what is called subdomain. A subdomain exists as a child of its mother domain. If there is no domain, there will be no subdomain.

A subdomain can exist as a separate website of its own but will always rely on its mother domain to exist. It is always attached to the mother domain. Example...

news.microsoft.com

In the example above,
microsoft is the domain
.com is the TLD for commercial purpose
news is the subdomain

So in clarity, news is the subdomain of microsoft domain existing on the .com TLD for commercial purpose

Subdomain always come from the left side of all links

Just like we have subdomain, we also have sub-subdomain. In this the sub-subdomain relies on the subdomain which in turn relies on the domain. Example...
tech.news.microsoft.com

And then we have more subs of preceding subdomains and so on till when the owner of the website gets tired of creating subs

Always remember that all subs come from the left side of links.

To know the real owner of a link posted, first look at the domain name which is always at the right side of the link

Whatever you see there tells you if the link is original or fake phishing link

Like in the Jumia nonsense link that has been going on, I will analyse it now below

http://jumia.com.ng.new-vouchers.win

The real Jumia website we know is

Jumia.com.ng

In the posted fake link above, if you look closely, you will see that jumia.com.ng came first in the link from the left side

This tells you that it is a sub sub subdomain of the domain new-vouchers.win

The main website of that link is new-vouchers.win

They created the sub sub subdomain jumia.com.ng to deceive people into thinking they are actually visiting Jumia.com.ng

Remember, always study the links you receive to know the real owner before clicking it.

Rule of thumb, read from the right of every links to know the real domain before clicking

Anything from the left side is just a sub

Please Now that I have giving you this knowledge, kindly share.
