What is an sTLD?
Sponsored top-level domains (sTLDs) are top-level domains sponsored by private agencies and organizations. Their use is reserved for these groups and organizations, meaning that regular Internet users cannot register domain names with these extensions.
Example: Two well-known examples of sTLDs are .gov and .edu, which can only be used by official government agencies (.gov) and official educational institutions (.edu).
