What is TLD?

[ruhikhan]

Hello friends,

Please tell Me about What is TLD?

TLD is the acronym used for top-level domain. It’s the last segment of a domain name after the final dot.

A great example of a TDL is: .com

The IANA officially recognizes three types of TLDs:

gTLD – Generic Top-Level Domains
sTLD – Sponsored Top-Level Domains
ccTLD – Country Code Top-Level Domains
Your TLD plays an important role in the Domain Name System (DNS).

You can change your WordPress site’s TDL by taking advantage of 301 redirect.

A TLD (top-level domain) is the most generic domain in the Internet's hierarchical DNS (domain name system). A TLD is the final component of a domain name, for example, "org" in developer.mozilla.org . ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) designates organizations to manage each TLD.

Top level domain names are worldwide domain names. Examples would be .com Commercial businesses or personal. org Organizations like charitable. net Network organizations. gov government agencies. mil Military. edu Educational like universities.

Then country domain names for country specific website or blogs like uk or ca.

A top-level domain (TLD), also referred to as a domain extension, is the suffix that follows the domain name in a web address; the most widely-used is ".com". TLDs are managed by the Domain Name System of the Internet, which controls how domain names are translated into Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses.

A TLD is a Top-Level Domain, that is the part that ends in .com, .net., .org, etc in an URL.

A top-level domain (TLD) is one of the domains at the highest level in the hierarchical Domain Name System of the Internet after the root domain.

Hello to all. Can I use a .fr TLD if I live in Italy for example.

I'm new to domain names and I'm not sure how this all works.

Thank you in advance for your answers
