Here UsingJoomla.com lists, alphabetically, a number of Generic Top Level Domain extensions. Also referred to as: gTLD.
Since the original generic Top Level Domains came into existence, many more have been born.
The original TLDs predate the formation of ICANN - the International Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers
Some domain extensions have no restrictions on who can register the domain, while other domain names have their domain name authority place restrictions on who can register domains within their control.
If there is any restriction - we place a superscript restricted (e.g: coop restricted ) against the TLD
Before deciding on a generic specific domain extension you are advised to find out what, if any, restrictions are applicable.
Food for thought:
If you are able to register a generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) you might consider your association with, or expertise in the what the domain represents.
For example, if you have a beauty business, would yourname.beauty (yourname [dot] beauty) be suitable for you? Of course - replace "yourname" with your given name. For example, if your name is Sarah: sarahs.beauty
Or, if you run a cafe, perhaps something along the lines of yourname.cafe (your name [dot] cafe, might be an option, for example if your name is David: davids.cafe
You might want to choose a generic Top Level Domain if you have an affinity with a target market.
Please note that not all of the following gTLD extensions are available to register immediately, and not all Domain Registrars are able to accommodate registration of some, any, or all domain extensions. So if you have an interest in a particular generic Top Level Domain (gTLD or TLD) you may find it necessary to shop-around a number of Domain Registrars.
The purpose of providing this list here is to give you some "food-for-thought" in what might be possible.
The gTLD extension usually appears at the end of your domain name.
New Domain Names are being launched at any given time.
The Domain Name launching process is typically in three phases - each phrase can be given different names but typically you will see, or hear, of the following three phase names:
- Sunrise Phase (also known as the:Trademark Holder Phase) - lasting at least 30 days. This gives Trademark holders (as registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse) to register a Domain Name that matches their trademark;
- Landrush Phase (also known as: Early Access Period, or Pre-registration period) - this usually follows the Landrush Phase giving non-trademark holders an opportunity to register a domain name. If more than one person, business, company, or entity attempts to register the same domain name an auction can be held to determine who is able to finally be the registrant. This phase may sometimes run at the same time as (that is: parallel with) the Sunrise Phase. This phase is not mandatory and the launch process may go straight to the General Availability Phase after the Sunrise Phase;
- General Availability Phase - This is an open ended phase and is when Domain Names are generally registered on a first-come-first-served basis.
This article is provided in good faith and believed to be correct at time of writing. We shall update this article as we become aware of additions or changes.
At time of writing, some of the Top Level Domain names listed are in different stages of the Domain Name process - not all are in the General Availability Phase so if something is attractive to you then you might need to pay a premium to secure your preferred Domain Name.
We also have a separate list of geographic Top Level Domains (geoTLD) - but we list those here in this list as well and have super-scripted them geoTLD
