Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

A top level domain (TLD) is the "suffix" or the end of each domain name. (e.g., the “.net” in aplus.net is the TLD.) There are two types of TLDs - global and country code:

• Global Top Level Domains are: .com, .net, .org, .edu, .mil, .gov, .biz, .name, .info.
• Country Code Top Level Domains are TLDs created by a country, such as .it, which is the country code for Italy or .tv whish is the country code for Tuvalu.
