What is Top Level Domain (TLD) ?

 Top Level Domain (TLD) refers to the last segment of a domain name, or the part that follows immediately after the  "dot" symbol. 

For example, in the internet address :https:/ www.google.com , the ".com" portion is the TLD.

TLD are mainly classified into two categories: generic TLDs and country specific TLDs. Examples of some of the popular TLDs include.

*.com- commercial bussinesses.

*.org- organization (generally charitable)  

* .net- network organization 

*gov- goverment agencies

* .biz

*.edu- education agencies

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) , is the entity that coordinates domains and IP addresses for the internet.

Historically, TLDs represented the purpose and type of domain or the geographical area from which it originated. ICANN  has generally been very strict about opening up new TLDs , but in 2010 , it decided to allow the creation of numerous new generic TLDs as  well as TLDs for company specific trademarks.

Top level domains are also known as domain suffixes.
