List of Internet top-level domains

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of currently existing Internet Top-level domains (TLDs). See top-level domain for information on the concept.

While the following list should be correct, there is a more definitive list on the IANA website. (The IANA list does not include .root, which exists only via a second-level domain.)
