TLD stands for Top-Level Domain. A TLD is the most generic portion of a domain name. It is found in the rightmost position of a domain name.

There are two types of TLDs:

  • Country code TLDs - called ccTLD
  • Generic TLDs - called gTLD

Traditional TLDs


We offer a variety of domain name extensions including the newest extensions available on the market. Obviously a .com extension remains the default option, but an extension can be used for many purposes. As it is becoming more and more important to protect brand identity, companies are registering multiple TLDs. Here are some commonly registered domain extensions to help you choose a perfect domain extension.

Extension Common Usage
Generic TLDs
.com It represents the word "commercial," and is the most widely used extension in the world.
.org Primarily used for organization websites or trade associations.
.biz Commonly used for business websites.
.net Intended for web hosting companies or businesses directly involved in the infrastructure of the Internet, but it is unrestricted.
.info Commonly used for informative websites with credible resources.
.name It is the only domain extension specifically designed for personal use. Commonly used for personal websites that display photos or personal information about an individual.
.tv It is for rich media websites, commonly used within the entertainment or media industry.
.mobi Used by websites optimized for access on mobile devices.
Country code TLDs

.co Colombia, but also used for companies and other commercial websites.
.co.uk The country code for the United Kingdom. The .co part of the extension indicates the domain name is for commercial purpose. It may be registered by anyone from any country.

New TLDs
