 # Namespaces
 
-In GitLab, a *namespace* provides one place to organize your related projects. Projects in one namespace are separate from projects in other namespaces,
-which means you can use the same name for projects in different namespaces.
+In GitLab, a namespace provides a place to organize projects. Projects in a namespace are separate

 ## Types of namespaces
 
 GitLab has two types of namespaces:
 
-- A *personal* namespace, which is based on your username and provided to you when you create your account.
-  - You cannot create subgroups in a personal namespace.
-  - Groups in your namespace do not inherit your namespace permissions and group features.
+- **User**: Your personal namespace is based on your username. In a personal namespace:
+  - You cannot create subgroups.
+  - Groups do not inherit your namespace permissions or group features.
   - All the projects you create are under the scope of this namespace.
-  - If you change your username, the project and namespace URLs in your account also change. Before you change your username,
+  - Changes to your username also change project and namespace URLs. Before you change your username,
     read about [repository redirects](../project/repository/index.md#repository-path-changes).
 
-- A *group* or *subgroup* namespace, which is based on the group or subgroup name:
+- **Group**: A group or subgroup namespace is based on the group or subgroup name. In group and subgroup namespaces:
   - You can create multiple subgroups to manage multiple projects.
-  - You can configure settings specifically for each subgroup and project in the namespace.
-  - When you create a subgroup, it inherits some of the parent group settings. You can view these in the subgroup **Settings**.
-  - You can change the URL of group and subgroup namespaces.
+  - Subgroups inherit some of the parent group settings. You can view these in the subgroup **Settings**.
+  - You can configure settings specifically for each subgroup and project.
+  - You can manage the group or subgroup URL independently of the name.

 ## Naming limitations for namespaces
 
-When choosing a name for your namespace, keep in mind the [character limitations](../reserved_names.md#limitations-on-usernames-project-and-group-names-and-slugs) and [reserved group names](../reserved_names.md#reserved-group-names).

 NOTE:
-If your namespace contains a `.`, you will encounter issues with the validation of your SSL certificates and the source path when [publishing Terraform modules](../packages/terraform_module_registry/index.md#publish-a-terraform-module).
