What do we mean by a top-level domain?

[Electrum]

Hello Friends,
Top-level domains indicate your site's purpose and can help attract your target audience. If you want to target users by country, you may need a country code top-level domain. If your audience is global, then a generic top-level domain might be the way to go. You can measure whether your site's TLD works for your business with a site audit.

Top level domain is suppose to show what site is about. .com would be most personal and business websites. Gov is government, .edu is education and so on. Even country domain names tell people the site is for that country.

Just make sure to do keyword research before buying a domain name. Use keywords in the domain name and register the domain name for more than 1 year.
