What is a TLD?
A TLD, or Top-Level Domain, represents the last part on the right side of a domain name. TLDs, which form the highest layer in the hierarchy of the Domain Name System (DNS), are critical in indicating a website’s purpose, geographic location, or type. For example, in the address www.example.com, the .com part is a TLD. Choosing a TLD in a domain registration forms the foundation of a brand’s digital identity and perception. These TLDs are managed by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and are made available to users through authorized registrars.
