Period

A certain company send a message to me, dropping a period of a sentence that ends with '.com'.

But is it correct to place a period after 'com' in this case?

It is correct to place the period after the email, but after the quotation mark( '.)

I write for a blog site and when doing the hyperlinks I just make sure I highlight only the part necessary to be included so the link will work.

So, yes, it should be there, but with care.
