A dot after the tld
That's actually how it's supposed to be done:
http://www.dns-sd.org/TrailingDotsInDomainNames.html http://www.dns-sd.org/TrailingDotsInDomainNames.html
"It's a little-known fact, but fully-qualified (unambiguous) DNS domain names have a dot at the end. People running DNS servers usually know this (if you miss the trailing dots out, your DNS configuration is unlikely to work) but the general public usually doesn't. A domain name that doesn't have a dot at the end is not fully-qualified and is potentially ambiguous. This was documented in the DNS specification, RFC 1034, way back in 1987 ..."
but the site works just fine without the trailing dot as well.
