===TLDs===
 
Top-Level Domains is essentially another name for the types of [[URL]]s that allow us to navigate the internet. The domain name system ([[DNS]]) is a way for users to get around the internet without having to use unique numeric identifiers (IP addresses) that are hard to remember. [[DNS]] strings are user generated text that represents these numbers. For example "www.icann.org" is a much easier to remember and type accurately than "192.0.34.163", although both represent the internet URL we'd call "icann.org".
 
 
 
'''[[TLD]]s''' -- Top-Level Domains are just the extension after the "dot" in a [[DNS]] [[URL]]. For example: .us, .com, .gov
 
 
 
'''ccTLDs''' -- are a subset of Top-Level Domains that are reserved for countries or a dependent territory. For example, .ca in Canada, .uk in the United Kingdom, .br in Brazil, etc. [http://www.iana.org/root-whois/index.html See the complete list of ccTLDs] at [[Iana.org]].
 
 
 
'''gTLDs''' -- Generic Top-Level Domains are everything else. These indicate the type of organization they are in use for, for example: ".museum" is in use for museums, ".gov" for governments and their agencies in the US; however others have more recently had their restrictions lifted, so that while generally ".org" was for organizations.  [http://www.iana.org/gtld/gtld.htm See the complete list of gTLDs] at [[Iana.org]].
