Apparently it is not Public Qualified but Partially Qualified. The following might of the help.

A fully qualified domain name consists of
hostname:mail,ftp
domain:apple,microsoft
top level domain:.com,.org
usually fully qualified domain name consists of these 3 parts.even a dot is appended at end by client dns and server dns even if it is not required by us DNS requires it

In partially qualfied domain we dont specify the complete url it does not need dot at the end
In partially qualfied domain we wont specify the host part instead we specify the domain part but the DNS supplies the missing part as suffix
