Top-level domain

"TLD" redirects here. For other uses, see TLD (disambiguatin).

A top-level domain or domain name (TLD) is the highest level of domain names in the root zone of the Domain Name System of the Internet. For all domains in lower levels, it is the last part of the domain name, that is, the label that follows the last dot of a fully qualified domain name. For example, in the domain name www.example.com, the top-level domain is com, or COM, as domain names are not case-sensitive. Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.

Originally, the top-level domain space was organized into three main groups,[1] Countries, Categories, and Multiorganizations. An additional temporary group consisted only of the initial DNS domain,[2] arpa, intended for transitional purposes toward the stabilization of the domain name system.

Countries are designated in the domain name system by their English two-letter ISO country code[3]. This group of domains is therefore commonly known as country-code top-level domains (ccTLD).

The Categories group has become known as the generic top-level domains. Initially this group consisted of GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, ORG, and NET.

In the growth of the Internet, it became desirable to create additional generic top-level domains. Some of the initial domains' purposes were also generalized, modified, or assigned for maintanance to special organizations affiliated with the intended purpose.

As a result, IANA today distinguishes the following groups of top-level domains:[4]

* country-code top-level domains (ccTLD): Two letter domains established for countries or territories. With some historical exceptions, the code for any territory is the same as its two-letter ISO 3166 code.
* generic top-level domains (gTLD): Top-level domains with three or more characters
o unsponsored top-level domains: domains that operate directly under policies established by ICANN processes for the global Internet community.
o sponsored top-level domains (sTLD): These domains are proposed and sponsored by private agencies or organizations that establish and enforce rules restricting the eligibility to use the TLD. Use is based on community theme concepts.
o infrastructure top-level domain: This group consists of one domain, the Address and Routing Parameter Area (ARPA). It is managed by IANA on behalf of the Internet Engineering Task Force for various purposes specified in Request for Comments.

The .INFO TLD
Why is .INFO the right TLD for me? Well, there is a bunch of good reasons, indeed. .INFO came to light in late 2000 and quickly gathered speed to become one of the most preferred TLDs on the Internet. Though it was originally intended for informative websites, its purpose was quickly washed away and the TLD was freely registered as a good alternative to already registered .COM or .NET domains. Today, more and more people prefer to register .INFO for their websites, since it is universal, sounds good and is easy to remember. After all, .INFO is the abbreviation of information in almost 40 languages around the world!
