What Is Domain Extension?

 Domain name extensions are the last part of a domain name. For example, in ‘hostgator.com,’ the domain name extension is .com.

 Types of domain name extensions available:

1. Generic Domain Extensions: These are the most common form of domain extension. For a while you could only choose between .com, .org, and net. But, in recent years the number of generic top-level domains has exploded. Now you’ll find a lot of unique top-level domain names to choose from like .beer, .blog, and more.
 

2. Sponsored Domain Extensions: This style of domain extension is restricted to certain types of organizations and groups. To register this style of TLD you’ll need to satisfy certain requirements and there are restrictions on who can register these domains. Common examples of this are the .aero, .gov, and .edu domain extensions. 

                                          3. Generic-Restricted Domain Extensions: This type of domain extension is similar to a generic top-level domain, but they are intended for more specific types of websites. When you register this domain extension you’ll typically need to provide a bit more information about your website and it’s intended purpose. Some examples of this TLD include .name and .pro.                                 
4. Country Code Domain Extensions: Lastly we have country-code domain extensions. Each country has its own TLD that helps to identify that site as being from a specific country. Common extensions include .co, .uk, and .us. However, these extensions are more flexible and can be used for more than just identifying locations. For example, the domain extension .co is the TLD for Colombia, but it’s also used by businesses and startups the world over.
