gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain)

A gTLD, or Generic Top-Level Domain, is the extension at the end of a website address, like .com, .org, or .net. It helps categorize and identify the type or purpose of a website, with .com often used for commercial sites, .org for organizations, and .edu for educational institutions. gTLDs are part of the domain name system that organizes the internet’s address space, making it easier to find and remember websites. They are available globally and can be registered by anyone, subject to specific rules depending on the type.
