Top-Level Domain (TLD)

A TLD (top-level domain) is the last segment of a domain name that appears after the final dot. It helps categorize and identify websites on the internet and can indicate purpose, industry, location, or branding. TLDs include generic extensions, country-specific extensions, and specialized domain endings.
