A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is composite of the host and domain name.
For instance in http://answers.yahoo.com
answers.yahoo is a host name and .com is the domain. the FQDN is answers.yahoo.com
Hope this answers your question.

Assume: You have a company called xcorp
You purchase a .com domain called xcorp.com
You set up an internal DNS structure with subdomains for your two geographic locations as follows:
london.xcorp.com
paris.xcorp.com
At both locations there is a workstation with the name "client"
If you just use the name "client" it is not clear which machine you mean. You need to use its fully qualified domain name. So following two are FQDN's
client.london.xcorp.com
client.paris.xcorp.com

FQDN is indicated by the .(dot) at the end of the domain name, which is also called root of the domain , so http://www.yahoo.com. is a FQDN
