Domain name extensions are the last part of a domain name. For example, in ‘hostgator.com,’ the domain name extension is .com.

You’ll also see domain name extensions referred to as top-level domains (TLDs). These terms will be used interchangeably throughout the post.

Your domain name and domain name extension give you a working domain name that your target audience can type into their browsers to access your website.


Some of the most common domain extensions you’ll see are:

.com – The most popular TLD around, this was originally designed for commercial businesses, but can now be used by any individual or organization on the Internet.

.biz – Designed for use by businesses.

.org – Most commonly used by nonprofit organizations, this domain extension has since grown to be nearly as ubiquitous as .com. Anyone can register a .org domain name.

.net – Like a lot of TLDs, this one was intended for use by networks (think Cox Cable), but can now be used and registered by anyone.

.gov – Unlike the domain extensions above, the .gov TLD continues to be restricted, meaning only government organizations are permitted to use it.

.mobi – Oftentimes a company or organization registers their domain name using .mobi if they’re showing a mobile-only version of their website.
