Top-level domains

Top-level domains

Every domain name ends in a top-level domain (TLD) name, which is either one of a small list of generic names (three or more characters), or a two-character territory code based on ISO-3166 (there are few exceptions and new codes are integrated case by case). Top-level domains are also called first-level domains.

The generic top-level domain (gTLD) extensions are:
