The top-level domain (TLD), also known as the domain suffix, typically identifies the type of organization an address is associated with . (dot)
The top-level domain is the last part of the domain name i.e the part after the final dot. The tld identifies what kind of organization the domain belongs to and classifies its purpose. For example, “.com “is for commercial businesses and “.gov” is for governmental institutions.
There are three main types of top-level domains;
Generic TLDs: They cover the most common domain names like “.com”,” .net” and “.org”.
Country-code TLDs: These domains are reserved for use by certain countries and states like “.uk”, “.pk”, “.au”.
Sponsored TLDs: These are usually representative of any geographical or professional communities with a delegated sponsor who represents them.
