I am bit confused about the Top level Domain names.
Can anyone tell me what is Top level Domain?
Does the top level domain means most frequently used domain names on internet?
Re: What is Top Level Domain?
Top Level Domain is an extension that is followed by the dot and it can be anything like .com, .net, .in, .org, etc.
Top Level Domain (TLD) is considered as the last segment of the domain name. TLD identifies the website and something that is associated with it, like the organization name, organization location (geographical area). Thus, it doesn’t mean the frequency of domain names used on internet.
A top-level domain is the last part of the domain name after the "dot". It is also know as domain suffix. There are two different categories of top level domains - country-specific top-level domains, and generic top-level domains.
With top-level domains you can identify certain website elements, such as, the business type, the country of origin,type of website - if it’s a government site, school website, and more.
.COM is the most popular TLD and therefore, is used by many brands.
