An example of this would be .co.uk, where .uk is the (cc)TLD and .uk is the (cc)SLD. In this circumstance, the domain name ("example" in "example.co.uk") would be considered the third level domain, as it is in the third position.<ref>[http://www.igoldrush.com/reference/domain-glossary/c/ccsld-country-code-second-level-domain iGoldrush Domain Glossary]</ref> This can become confusing, as the domain name is commonly equated with the second level domain, and the [[subdomain]] is commonly equated with the third level domain. In these circumstances, the third level domain is sometimes referred to as a '''functional SLD'''.<ref>[http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-provreg-dn-defn-00 Domain Name and Related Definitions, ietf.org]</ref>

===.pro===
The [[.pro]] TLD allows registrations under the top level domain and under several second level domains, which are: .law.pro, .jur.pro, .bar.pro, .med.pro, .cpa.pro, .aca.pro, and .eng.pro. Registration under both the TLD and SLDs is intended for certified professionals, and in the case of law.pro, the registrant must provide license information that can be independently cross-verified in his or her jurisdiction. All other registrations are randomly verified against an appropriate licensing or accreditation database using the self-certified professional data that the registrant provided at the time of registration.<ref>[http://www.registry.pro/professionals/why Why register .pro, registry.pro]</ref>
