TLD types at a glance

  • Generic (gTLD)

    Open or lightly-restricted TLDs available to anyone. Includes the originals (.com, .net, .org) and the modern 2014-onward gTLDs (.app, .xyz, .dev, .online).

  • Country code (ccTLD)

    Two-letter TLDs assigned to each ISO 3166-1 country or territory. Some are restricted to nationals or residents; many (.io, .co, .me, .tv) sell globally.

  • Sponsored (sTLD)

    TLDs with a defined sponsor and a community-eligibility policy: .gov, .edu, .museum, .aero, .post, .bank, .insurance.

  • Infrastructure (.arpa)

    Used by the DNS itself for reverse lookups and protocol-defined names. Not available for end-user registration.

  • Special use

    IETF-reserved labels that are never delegated in the public root: .test, .example, .invalid, .localhost (RFC 6761) and .onion (RFC 7686).

The IANA Root Zone Database is the authoritative list. This page covers the most-searched TLDs across each type, including the original 1985 round, the 2000 and 2012 expansion rounds, and the ccTLDs that handle most of the world's internet traffic.

How to use

  1. Type a TLD, a full hostname, or a keyword in the search box. The page extracts the TLD from a hostname like example.com and selects the matching entry instantly.
  2. Use the Type, Registration, and Category filters to narrow the list to ccTLDs, generic TLDs, sponsored TLDs, infrastructure, or special-use reserved labels.
  3. Click any card to read the full description, history, eligibility rules, and operational notes for that TLD.
  4. Copy the TLD itself or the formatted TLD-plus-name string from the detail panel.
  5. Use Reset filters at any time to browse the full reference list of TLDs.

About this tool

TLD Lookup is a fast, offline-friendly reference for the labels that appear at the end of every hostname on the public internet. Search by the TLD itself (.io, .ai, .gov), by a full hostname (the page extracts the TLD for you and selects it), by country name (Anguilla, Tuvalu, Montenegro), by registry or sponsor (Verisign, Google Registry, EURid, GoDaddy Registry, fTLD), or by any keyword in the description (HSTS preloaded, restricted, ICP filing, real-name verification). Each entry covers the canonical lowercase label, the full English name, the IANA type (gTLD, ccTLD, sTLD, infrastructure, or special use), a topical category, the introduction year, the registry or sponsoring organisation, registration access (open, restricted, or closed), a one-line description, and a longer note explaining the typical real-world use, eligibility rules, security defaults, and any caveats developers and brand teams care about. The catalog covers the original 1985 round (.com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov, .mil), the 2000 to 2012 sponsored expansions (.info, .biz, .museum, .aero, .coop, .jobs, .mobi, .asia, .post, .cat), the highest-traffic new gTLDs from the 2014 round (.xyz, .app, .dev, .tech, .online, .store, .blog, .news, .health, .bank, .insurance, .pharmacy, .law), the ccTLDs that handle most of the world's internet (.us, .uk, .de, .fr, .jp, .cn, .in, .br, .ca, .au, .ru, .eu, .nl, .es, .it, .ch, .se, .no, .za, .mx, .ar, .kr, .tr) plus the small-island ccTLDs that have been adopted globally as generic technology TLDs (.io, .ai, .co, .me, .tv), the infrastructure TLD (.arpa), and the IETF special-use labels that never resolve in the public DNS (.test, .example, .invalid, .localhost, .onion, .local). Filter by type, registration access, or category, then click any card for the full detail panel and copy the TLD or the TLD-plus-name string to your clipboard. The dataset is shipped statically with the page and nothing about the TLD you look up is sent anywhere.
