If you’re looking forward to having a website of your own or your business, you may wonder about that domain name to choose. In addition, along with the domain name, the second thing that might come to your mind is what will be the domain type and level?

We know you have heard the term ‘top-level domain’. But you’re confused with what it all about and what are the top-level domains out there. No worries! In this article, we’ll cover all you should know about the top-level domain including what it really means. 

What Is a Top-Level Domain? 

Before exploring a top-level domain, you need to have a precise idea of what is a domain. A domain is a unique website address, and it has two. One part is the name of the domain, and the second part is the type of domain. 

For example, if you look above on the search bar of your browser, you will see https://www.tarhibit.com/ . Here, ‘tarhib it’ is the name of the domain and ‘.com’ is the type of people domain. Sounds good? 

Here, the ‘.com’ is the core example of a top level domain. Similar to this, you’ll find a bunch of top level domains out there. However, most of the websites on the internet are created with the top level domain. There are over 1000 top level domains but we hardly know more than a few. 

However, some of the most common top-level domains are; .net, .org, .gov, .bd etc.

When it comes to choosing the top-level domain for your website, you need to determine what your website is all about and what is the purpose of your website. However, if you want to create a website for your business, it is better off going with the .com domain and it is highly popular and shows the authority of a website. 

In addition, there can be many subdomains under the root domains. If you don’t have a clear view about root domain and subdomain, why not notice the example below.
