gTLDs stand for Generic Top Level Domains. These are domain extensions with a general meaning or purpose, such as .COM or .ORG, and are not associated with a specific country.
The most popular generic domain extension is .COM, which stands for “commercial”. It was one of the first domain extensions introduced and today has more than 200 million registered domains.
Other widely used gTLDs include .ORG (organisation) and .INFO (information). Generic domain extensions are globally focused and widely recognised. Because of this, they are often the preferred choice for businesses and organisations that operate internationally or beyond a single country.
Since the launch of the New gTLD Programme in 2013, traditional extensions such as .COM, .ORG, and .INFO are sometimes referred to as “legacy” or “classic” generic domain extensions to distinguish them from the newer domain extensions introduced from 2013 onwards.
