new TLD

With the new TLD program which started in 2014, over 1200 extensions have been created. The nTLDs category of new domain name extensions are composed of three groups:

  • NgTLDs, which are the new generic TLDs like .XYZ, .TOP, .SITE, .BEST, and hundreds of others.
  • corpTLDs, which are TLDs reserved for companies, like .BNPPARIBAS, .AUDI or .BARCLAYS.
  • geoTLDs, for local communities, like .TOKYO, .BERLIN or .PARIS.

The NgTLD market is by far the largest. On the contrary to corpTLD and geoTLD markets, its registries are for profit organisms, typically internet companies or institutions specialized in a specific topic or sector. They usually manage one nTLD, sometimes a few.
