Is there a term for Second Level Domain and Top Level Domain

Question

If I observe the domain:

http://www.google.com/

http is the protocal

www is a subdomain

google is the second level domain

com is the top level domain

Is there a specific term that would describe google.com?

You've already answered your own question. google.com would commonly be referred to as a second-level domain name.

"Naked domain". Also, in DNS terms - "zone apex"

Also, "second level domain". You wrongly assume that "example" part in "example.com" may be called second-level domain. The whole "example.com" is a domain, and it is a second-level domain."example" would be second label in the domain name. "com" is a first (rightmost) label.

Parent Domain which is the combination of the Second Level Domain and the Top level domain
