gTLDs (generic Top-Level Domains)

gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains, are the high-level categories of website addresses that appear after the dot in a URL, such as .com, .org, or .net. They help identify the purpose or nature of a website, like commercial (.com), organization (.org), or network (.net). gTLDs are managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and can be registered by anyone, which has led to many specialized options beyond the traditional choices. They are an essential part of the domain name system, making it easier to find and categorize websites globally.
