Domain Extension

What is a domain extension?

A domain extension, also known as a top-level domain (TLD), is the part of a domain name that comes after the dot. Examples include .com, .org, .net, and many others, including country-specific extensions like .uk for the United Kingdom or .in for India. Domain extensions can help indicate the purpose of a website (such as .shop or .app) or its geographic location (such as .de or .paris). They are a critical part of the domain name system (DNS), helping to organize the Internet's vast amount of domain names as well as helping individuals and businesses to make their websites stand out.

Example:

Examples of common domain extensions include .com, .org, .net, .co, .info, .online, .shop and .me.
