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

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.
