gTLD
A generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) is the rightmost segment of a domain name, such as .com or .org. Since 2012, ICANN's New gTLD Program has allowed companies and organizations to apply for new domain suffixes, including industry-term and brand-specific variants, substantially expanding the internet's naming namespace.
Timeline (last 90 days)
According to an Interisle research report, new registrations of global generic top-level domains (gTLDs) reached 85 million.
Some top-level domain registration fees are less than $1, enabling fraud groups to register domain names in bulk at low cost.
gTLDs such as .com are operated by registry operators like Verisign, but must comply with the unified policy framework established by ICANN, including UDRP, registrar accreditation systems, and consumer protection standards.
.name is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that was officially approved for use in 2001, designed for personal branding.
The earliest gTLDs include .com, .org, and .net, which emerged in the 1980s during the early commercialization of the internet.
