What is a Top Level Domain or TLD?
It is the rightmost component in a domain name. There are two different types of Top Level Domains (TLD): Generic and National.
A Generic TLD such as (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .name and .info) describes the purpose of the organization or entity to which the domain name is registered. Generic TLDs do not differentiate between geographic locations.
A National TLD (.au, .nz, .ca, and .uk) specifies the country or territory of the registered domain name owner. National domains may be restricted to registration for citizens or organizations in that country.
