A TLD is the most righthand part of a domain name. So, for example, the kanohost.com TLD is .com. There are two types of TLD, gTLD (Generic Top Level) and ccTLD (Country Code Top Level Domain). Historically a gTLD was meant to tell the user the domain name’s purpose; for example, a .com would be for commercial purposes, .org for an organization, .edu for education, and .gov for government. A ccTLD was used for geographical purposes, for example, .ca for sites based in Canada, .co.uk for sites based in the United Kingdom, and so on. Due to such demand, there is an influx of new gTLDs ranging from .online, .club, .website, .biz and so many more. For a full list of over 2000 TLDs click here.
