A top-level domain is the last part of a domain name – the bit after the dot. It often indicates what type of website it is or which country the domain is associated with.

There are two main types:

  • Country code TLDs (ccTLD), which are tied to a specific country or territory, e.g. .se for Sweden or .no for Norway.

  • Generic TLDs (gTLD), which are used globally and are not linked to any country, e.g. .com or .org.

We offer almost every type of top-level domain. Here are some of the most common:
