Hello friends, 

What is a domain extension?

Domain extensions (or Top Level Domains/TLDs) are the suffixes or the last part of any website domain name - these letters are types after the dot to the right of any domain name.

The Domain Name System (DNS) was invented in 1983. This system allowed a name to be attached to the numeric IP address, meaning that instead of a long string of numbers like 79.170.40.2, a specific place on the internet could be identified by a name, like 'baloogi.com' – much easier to remember!

In 1984, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) established the first six domain extensions:

.com | .edu | .gov | .mil | .org | .net

Shortly afterwards, the first two-character country code extensions (like .uk and .us) were established

 Domain extension refers to the notation found at the end of web addresses. The extension is used to specify a country code or any web category. For example, .edu is a domain extension to specify educational institution as the web category.
