List of Internet top-level domains
Parts of this article (those related to New TLDs: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings) need to be updated. (March 2014) |
This is a list of Internet top-level domains (TLDs). A top-level domain is a domain name in the Domain Name System that is a direct subdomain of the DNS root zone.
The official list of all top-level domains is maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).[1]
In an initiative to expand the domain name space, IANA is considering approval of several proposed top-level domains.
Original top-level domains
Seven generic top-level domains were created early in the development of the Internet, and pre-date the creation of ICANN in 1998.[2]
- Name: DNS name
- Entity: intended use
- Notes: general remarks
- IDN: support for internationalized domain names (IDN)
- DNSSEC: presence of DS records for Domain Name System Security Extensions
Name | Entity | Administrator[3] | Notes | IDN | DNSSEC |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
.com | commercial | Verisign | This is an open TLD; any person or entity is permitted to register. Though originally intended for use by for-profit business entities, for a number of reasons it became the "main" TLD for domain names and is currently used by all types of entities including nonprofits, schools and private individuals. Domain name registrations may be successfully challenged if the holder cannot prove an outside relation justifying reservation of the name, to prevent "squatting". It was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense. | Yes | Yes |
.org | organization | Public Interest Registry | This is an open TLD; any person or entity is permitted to register. Originally intended for use by non-profit organizations, and still primarily used by some. | Yes | Yes |
.net | network | Verisign | This is an open TLD; any person or entity is permitted to register. Originally intended for use by domains pointing to a distributed network of computers, or "umbrella" sites that act as the portal to a set of smaller websites. | Yes | Yes |
.int | international organizations | Internet Assigned Numbers Authority | The .int TLD is strictly limited to organizations, offices, and programs which are endorsed by a treaty between two or more nations. However, there are a few grandfathered domain names that do not meet these criteria. | No | No |
.edu | U.S. higher education | Educause (via Verisign) | The .edu TLD is limited to specific educational institutions such as, but not limited to, primary schools, middle schools, secondary schools, colleges, and universities. In the US, its usability was limited in 2001 to post-secondary institutions accredited by an agency on the list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies maintained by the United States Department of Education. This domain is therefore almost exclusively used by American colleges and universities. Some institutions that do not meet the current registration criteria have grandfathered domain names. | No | Yes |
.gov | U.S. national and state government agencies | General Services Administration (via Verisign) | The .gov TLD is limited to governmental entities and agencies in the U.S. | No | Yes |
.mil | U.S. military | United States Department of Defense | The .mil TLD is limited to use by the United States military. | No | Yes |
Infrastructure top-level domain
Infrastructure | Entity | Notes | IDN | DNSSEC |
---|---|---|---|---|
.arpa | Address and Routing Parameter Area | Originally assigned to the Advanced Research Projects Agency in the early days on the Internet, .arpa is now exclusively used as an Internet infrastructure TLD. "Address and Routing Parameter Area" is an example of a backronym. | No | Yes |
Country code top-level domains
Note: the country code domain system was created in the early days of the Domain Name System, and pre-dates ICANN.
- Name: DNS name of the (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) two-letter country-code top-level domain
- Entity: country, dependency, or region
- Explanation: explanation of the code when not self-evident from the English name of the country
- Notes: general remarks
- IDN: support for internationalized domain names (IDN)
- DNSSEC: presence of DS records for Domain Name System Security Extensions
- SLD: allows Second-level domain registration (restrictions may apply)
- IPv6: Registry fully supports IPv6 access
Name | Entity | Explanation | Notes | IDN | DNSSEC | SLD | IPv6 |

Proposed internationalized ccTLDs
Test TLDs
ICANN created a set of top-level Internationalized domain names in October 2007 for the purpose of testing the use of IDNA in the root zone and within those domains. These testing domains were abolished on 31 October 2013.[97] Each of these TLDs encoded a word meaning "test" in the respective language.[98][99]
Each of these domains contained only one site with the word "example" encoded in the respective script and language. These example.test sites were test wikis used by ICANN.
