Superset of gTLD's and ccTLDs. Every domain name must end with a TLD. Australian domains all have the TLD, which is a ccTLD, which is .au. TLDs are the names at the top of the DNS naming hierarchy. They appear in domain names as the string of letters following the last (rightmost) ".", such as "net" in "www.example.net". The administrator for a TLD controls what second-level names are recognized in that TLD. The administrators of the "root domain" or "root zone" control what TLDs are recognized by the DNS. Commonly used TLDs include .com, .net, .edu, .jp, .de, etc.
The last component of a domain name. There are generic TLDs (gTLD) such a .com, .net, .info; there are also country code TLDs (ccTLD) such as .ca, .uk and .jp.
In the Domain Name System (DNS), the highest level of the hierarchy after the root. In a domain name, that portion of the domain name that appears furthest to the right e.g., ".gov" in the domain name www.whitehouse.gov. The administrators of the "root domain" or "root zone" control what TLDs are recognized by the DNS. Commonly used TLDs include .com, .net, .edu, .jp, .de, etc. Trademark - A name, symbol, or other device identifying a product, officially registered and legally restricted to the use of the owner or manufacturer. To top
(TLD) The ‘highest' part of a domain name, being either a gTLD or a ccTLD.
The highest level suffix of a domain name e.g .EU, .COM
The section of the domain name that appears after the ".", i.e. the ".net" in HitHosting.net.
The uppermost in the hierarchy of domains, the TLD is identified by the letters which follow the dot in a web address like .com or .ca. Each TLD is administered by a given Registry, under the umbrella of ICANN. There are two categories: Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) A TLD which is global and open to registrants around the world. E.g. .com, .net or .org. Some other new and more limited top level domains include .museum (museums) or .mil (U.S. military). Note that .com is not restricted to commercial entities. Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) A two-letter TLD which is associated with a particular country and usually controlled by a national registry. ccTLDs usually require that their registrants be located in that country, unlike gTLDs which are open to anyone. It is possible for a country to cede its rights to a national ccTLD as Tuvalu did with the ccTLD '.tv'.
A top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of an Internet domain name; that is, the letters which follow the final dot of any domain name. For example, in the domain name internic.com, the top-level domain is com (or COM, as domain names are not case-sensitive).
The last component of a domain name. For example the domain "summary.net" has a top level domain of "net". There are many two letter "country code" top level domains, and only a few longer ones. There is currently a movement to increase the number of longer, non-country, domains.
The last and most significant component of an domain name, the part after the last ".". For example, domains.co.uk is in top-level domain "uk" (for United Kingdom).
In the Domain Name System, this is the highest level in the hierarchy after the root. In a domain name, that portion of the domain name that appears furthest to the right. For example, the "com" in "www.mydomain.com". Also See gTLD
The last word in domain name. com, net, org, gov, etc. Most countries (except the U.S.) usually have the top domain name as part of their country name. Canada=ca, Japan=jp, Brazil= br, France= fr, etc.
The three letter extension at the end of a URL, such as .com, .edu, etc.
The last part of a web address is called a TLD. For example, .co.uk or .com. The TLDs ususally provide some sort of information about the website. For instance, .co.uk indicates a UK based company. Similarly, .gov.uk indicates a UK government website.
A Top Level Domain (TLD) is the uppermost in the hierarchy of domain names. For example, 1001resources.com is our domain name. The "net" is considered the TLD and the "1001resources.com" is considered the second level domain. Together they form a domain name which is unique. There are two types of TLD's. The most common type is the Generic or Global TLD's which include .COM, .NET, .ORG, .MIL, .INT and .EDU. There is a possibility that new gTLDs will be introduced in the near future. National or ccTLDs are two letter country code domains that are managed by a registry designated and controlled by each specific country. Each registry might have differing prices, residency requirements and structure.
In the Domain Name System (DNS), the highest level of the hierarchy after the root. In a domain name, that portion of the domain name that appears furthest to the right. For example, the co.ro in isr.co.ro. The co.ro. is a gTLD (generic top level domain) for Romania. [see also: Domain Name System (DNS), Root, Domain Name, Generic Top Level Domain
The most general part of a domain name, such as .com or .fr.
The highest hierarchy level in the domains. Current top level domains are, e.g.: .de, .at, .ch, .com, org, net.
A domain you pay for. You can not use a free server (ie: geocities, freewebs and lycos)
In the Domain Name System (DNS), the highest level of the hierarchy above second level domains. Our domain name - DomainBank.com - for example is part of the Internet address for Domain Bank, Inc. The Domain Bank part is the second level domain while the .com is the Top Level Domain. Second level domain names are what you register by or on behalf of registrants (or name holders) in a Top Level Domain registry. There are two types of Top Level Domains. The most common type is Generic or gTLDs, such as .COM, .NET, .ORG. New gTLDs such as .NOM, .INFO, or .WEB may be introduced sometime in the near future. The other type of TLD is the ccTLD (country code top level domains) which are assigned to all countries and their dependencies. Every TLD registry - generic or country code - has its own prices, policies, and procedures that registrants (name holders) in that registry are subject to. It is important to know and be prepared to accept these before registering name(s) in a particular registry.
TLD is the last part of the domain name. For example, the .com in www.mysite.com is the top level domain. (‘mysite’ would be the second-level domain)
In the Domain Name System (DNS), the highest level of domains is the most broad indicator of where a Domain Name lives. The TLD extensions .com, .net and .org refer to the registry that contains those domains, whereas the second level is a more specific indicator within the Top Level Domain. Much like in the postal address "New York, USA" the "USA" is the broader term, while "New York" points to a less broad location within USA. There are two types of Top Level Domains. The most common type is Generic or gTLDs, such as .COM, .NET, .ORG. New proposed gTLDs such as .firm, .web, or .shop are expected to be introduced later this year. The other type of TLD is the ccTLD (country code top level domains) which are assigned to all countries and their dependencies. Country codes are administered by each country and rules and fees for those differ from case to case.
Either a generic code (.org, .com, .edu, .gov, .net, etc.) or a country code (.uk, .fr, etc.) to the right of the host's name --e.g., Host name = sciencemag; Top Level Domain Name = .org
The highest level of the hierarchy in the Domain Name System. The portion of the domain name that comes after the dot "." (.com, .net, .tv)
The section of the domain name that appears after the ".", ie the ".com" .
A top level domain is the first level of an Internet site address and occurs as the last part of a complete Domain Name. For example in the domain name www.vaishnosoft.com ".com" is the Top Level Domain. There are a large number of Top Level Domains. A few examples are: .biz, .com, .edu, .gov, .info, .int, .mil, .net, .org
Hierarchical scheme for indicating logical and sometimes geographical venue of a web-page from the network. In the US, common domains are .edu (education), .gov (government agency), .net (network related), .com (commercial), .org (nonprofit and research organizations). Outside the US, domains indicate country: ca (Canada), uk (United Kingdom), au (Australia), jp (Japan), fr (France), etc. Neither of these lists is exhaustive.
In the Domain Name System (DNS), the highest level of the hierarchy after the root. In a domain name, the top level domain is that part of the domain name that is furthest to the right. For example, the "com" in google.com.
