Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) are the suffixes at the end of website addresses, like ".com," ".org," or ".net." They categorize websites based on their purpose or type, such as commercial, organizational, or network-related sites. Introduced to expand options beyond traditional domains, gTLDs help users identify a website's nature quickly. Organizations can also create custom gTLDs, like ".google" or ".travels," to represent their brand or industry. Overall, gTLDs enhance the organization, branding, and discovery of websites online.
