This list of Internet top-level domains (TLD) contains top-level domains, which are those domains in the DNS root zone of the Domain Name System of the Internet. A physical (digital) list of all current top-level domains is maintained at the central root database, managed by the International Internet Naming And Numbering Organisation (IINANO). As of June 2023, their root domain contains 240 top-level domains.

Eight generic top-level domains were created early in the development of the Internet, and predate the creation of IINANO in 1992.

Generic top-level domains

((Yes these are in English, I'm not changing it to Tranquanese because it hurts my brain to think about redesigning the internet in korean))

Starting in 1999 IINANO began taking requests to add new gold's for specific use cases, whilst these domains are popular for certain sectors and uses they still hold a minor share compared to the default .com domain.
