Selecting a domain for your website is like deciding a name for your baby. Everyone wants the best name for their website.
In the U.S., most businesses go with a dot-com, which is a generic top-level domain (gTLD). Some websites get creative with top-level domains (TLD) to complete the name such as “time.is”.
But did you know that a top-level domain you choose may have an impact on your website?

There are six different types of top-level domains:
  • Infrastructure top-level domain (ARPA)
  • Generic top-level domains (gTLD)
  • Restricted generic top-level domains (grTLD)
  • Sponsored top-level domains (sTLD)
  • Country code top-level domains (ccTLD)
  • Test top-level domains (tTLD)
In this article, we’ll focus on the two most popular TLDs – ccTLD and gTLD.
Note: If you’d like to find out about TLDs in general, go to IANA and ICANN for the information.
