What is TLD?
A TLD (Top-Level Domain) is a domain’s extension, for instance “.com”, “.org” or \ “.uk\”, which categorizes websites geographically or by purpose. Generic gTLDs (like. “.com”), a company sells products, while a cc gTLD relates to a country. The choice of gTLD can impact user trust, brand reputation, gTLD perception, and their local search relevance. New gTLDs are introduced frequently, while the credibility of saying a “.app” is questionable. Most search engines do not prefer gTLDs but treat cc gTLDs differently when it comes to ranking in targeted countries.
Some TLD examples would be buying a domain for worldwide e-commerce with “.com,” extending “.org” for a non-profit organization, or buying “.de” for German speakers.
