Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs)

Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs), also called "Generic" TLDs, or just "gTLDs" are TLDs with three or more characters. gTLDs can be further subdivided into two types, namely "sponsored" TLDs (sTLDs) and "unsponsored" TLDs (uTLDs). These are essentially International, private and commercial domain names which can be registered from anywhere in the world and are governed by the processes directly by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), USA.
