help understanding url name structure
Two sites I've been asked to transfer to a new server have url construction that looks like this:
http://store.readingrecovery.org.php5-17.websitetestlink.com
&
http://fdf.readingrecovery.org/
In my experience a url is constructed with a '.' separating the sitename and com, org, net, etc.
I've never seen a url that had two or more decimal separators.
I need to know where this domain is registered so I can use the correct name servers, but when I use whois.net I get an 'Malformed requestDomain Name' error. What do these extra decimals mean about the structure of the url and at this point would it be better to just register a new domain and point that to the new server?
Thanks for any help, this is a new area for me.

Thanks, that does make sense.
I read your question as needing the registrant and nameservers which I supplied. I parsed the obvious sub-domain to get that info. kevin
What's obvious to one person isn't obvious to another.
The question title was 'help understanding url name structure' , and then goes on to ask ...what do these extra decimals mean...
He clearly knows how to use a whois service, but not what to put in the whois service.

Here is what whois came up with for WEBSITETESTLINK.COM
It doesn't like readingrecovery.org
