Domain Name List


gTLD Domain Names

Seven gTLDs (.com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, and .org) were created in 1980. The domain names may be registered only in .com, .net, and .org without restriction, because the other four are limited. These seven were introduced in 2001 and 2002. Just four of these TLDs (.biz, .info, .name, .pro) are unsponsored unlike the other three (.com, .net, and .org) which are sponsored. Examples of gTLD’s are typically .com, .net, .edu, .gov, .mil and .org just to mention a few.

Generally speaking, an unsponsored TLD operates under policies established by the global Internet community directly through the ICANN process, while a sponsored TLD is a specialized TLD that has a sponsor representing the narrower community that is most affected by the TLD. The sponsor thus carries out delegated policy-formulation responsibilities over many matters concerning the TLD. A TLD which is unsponsored operates under policies established by the global Internet community directly through the ICANN process, while a sponsored TLD is a specialized TLD that has a sponsor representing the narrower community that is most affected by the TLD.

But what really is a Sponsor? This is an organization to which is designated some defined ongoing policy-formulation authority regarding the manner in which a particular sponsored TLD is operated. The sponsored A TLD sponsored has a Charter, which defines the purpose for which the sponsored TLD has been created and will be operated. The Sponsor is delegated to developing policies on the designated topics so that the TLD is operated for the benefit of a defined group of stakeholders, known as the Sponsored TLD Community, that are most directly interested in the operation of the TLD. It is also these domains that carry the highest resell value and are the most active domain names on the trading market. Currently the world’s top domain and most recommended is the .com, due to its resell value and nature of being in demand.

ccTLD’s are Country Code Top Level Domain Names. These domains are typically used by countries from around the world and their depended territories.

iTLD Domain Names

iTLDs are Infrastructure Top Level Domain Names. They are less important, less known and currently there are only two extensions we know about. They are .arpa and .root. These domains are not open to public registration and are not seen on the trading market in today’s practices.
