The URL of our Facebook page corresponds precisely to the part of the Web address where our username is located, immediately after the official domain of the social network. It is also known by the name of custom URL , and it is the specific way for other users to view our profile.
Of course, when creating a username it is necessary to follow a series of rules established by the social network itself. One of the most obvious is that it is not possible to use a username that is already being used by another user. In addition, they can only contain alphanumeric characters, or a period.
Nor can they contain generic terms or extensions, they must have at least 5 characters and, finally, it is essential that they comply with the terms established by Facebook.
However, as we will see below, we must not confuse our username with the personal name . Thus, while the username is the URL to access our public profile, the personal name is the name that appears on our profile (and which, in theory, should be our real name).
