Is there any reason .me is not included in the Generic TLDs? I'd put it in, but I'm awful with the tables here.
EDIT: Never mind, apparently it is just a misused country specific TLD. Maybe something that should be mentioned?

How come .eh (for Western Sahara) is not shown here? - FrancisTyers 20:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
.eh
, as can be seen by querying the root nameservers. (It hasn't been assigned either. This is clearly stated on the on the IANA website, and while I don't really trust the IANA website these days, I'm pretty sure it's correct in this case, because there is no organisation to which .eh
could reasonably be assigned given the political situation in Western Sahara.) --Zundark 19:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Why is there no listing for ".nt", which was assigned to the Neutral Territories between Iraq and Saudi Arabia?
Jim Welch
.nt
, as can be seen by querying the root nameservers. (Nor was it ever assigned. I think you are confusing it with the corresponding ISO 3166 code, which did once exist.) --Zundark 10:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)I've recently written quick programs to convert text data presented in tabular form into tables to improve accessibility. Here's the program I used on this article:
// File: convert-tld.cpp // License: Public domain // Author: Ardonik #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; void generate(istream& in, ostream& out) { out << "{| border=\"1px\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2px\"\n"; out << "|- style=\"background-color: #a0d0ff;\"\n"; out << "!TLD!!Country or entity!!Notes\n"; out << "|-\n"; string line; while (getline(in, line)) { // If the line begins with [[, the TLD is linked, and we need to find the // end of it. Otherwise, search for whitespace. string tld, remainder; size_t tld_start = 1, remainder_start; if (line.substr(tld_start, 2) == "[[") tld = line.substr(tld_start, line.find("]]", tld_start) + 2 - tld_start); else tld = line.substr(tld_start, line.find(" ", tld_start) - tld_start); remainder_start = line.find_first_not_of(" ", tld_start + tld.length()); remainder = line.substr(remainder_start); out << "|" << tld << "||" << remainder << "|| \n"; // Will fill in 3rd out << "|-\n"; // columns by hand } out << "|}\n"; if (in.fail() && !in.eof()) cout << "Could not read from input\n"; if (out.fail()) cout << "Could not write to output\n"; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { if (argc != 3) { cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " [infile] [outfile]\n"; cout << " If infile is \"-\", input will be read from stdin.\n"; cout << " If outfile is \"-\", output will be written to stdout.\n"; return 0; } string infile = argv[1], outfile = argv[2]; if (infile == "-" && outfile == "-") { generate(cin, cout); } else if (infile == "-") { ofstream out(outfile.c_str()); generate(cin, out); } else if (outfile == "-") { ifstream in(infile.c_str()); generate(in, cout); } else { ifstream in(infile.c_str()); ofstream out(outfile.c_str()); generate(in, out); } return 0; }
To use it, copy the tld text from the pre-table version of the page into a text file. Run convert-iso on it and the Wikified table will be printed to stdout. You'll still have to copy the parenthetical information into the third columns by hand--they were too inconsistent for me to automate their parsing without expending more than a minimal effort. --Ardonik.talk() 01:32, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

Where is the .nt? A lot of sites mention .nt as a now defunct TLD, .nt was intended for Neutral Zone. Its exact purposes remain unknown to me. Try searching Google for ".nt neutral zone", a list of pages should list TLDs, and include .nt. --[Svippong - Talk] 19:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
.nt
TLD was ever created (which is not surprising, as it was desert region with no government, and even most real countries didn't have TLDs that far back), so it's incorrect to call it a "now defunct TLD". (There are lots of inaccurate TLD lists on the web. Some people can't tell the difference between ISO 3166 and TLDs, and they often use ISO 3166 lists that are about 20 years out-of-date.) --Zundark 20:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Just to let you know, M79_Specialist started this article.

Whoever labeled Taiwan a “Province of China” needs to get over it. Taiwan is its own country now. You might be offended by the fact they have more liberty than people on the mainland but your opinion does not change the fact that Taiwan is no more a “Province of China” than the Philippine Islands are a “Province of the USA” or New Zealand is a “Province of the UK.” Get over it, Taiwan is an independent country and apparently most Taiwanese want it that way.
Is Samoa/W. Samoa correct for .ws? I've seen a U.S. site use it and thought it was a general-purpose TLD for "website." Update: I see on IANA it is Samoa, yet I'm still confused by the aforementioned use as well as the frequent "website" references. Perhaps it is changing? --Insomniduck 22:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
.ws
domain (because the Samoan authorities consider this a good way to make money), and many people like to think of .ws
as representing "website", but that doesn't change the fact that it's assigned to Samoa. --Zundark 08:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)The title of the article does not indicate that only existing TLDs should be mentioned. But I do not see there ever was a discussion here how to handle the whole thing. Now I guess I should start it to get thins even. It looks to me that some user had the idea to make it that way but it never was discussed. I believe reserved TLDs should also be mentioned, but however, with the remark that they are just reserved and don't exist. What's wrong with that? The title of this article is "List of Internet top-level domains" and not "List of existing Internet top level domains". Those reserved TLDs are certainliy not in use. But you still can't call them non-existant since they are reserved. --Maxl 22:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
.xxx
reserved? Is .invalid
reserved? ...). Please don't start adding things like this amongst the real TLDs. A separate table for such things would be OK, but it should be on a separate page - the list of TLDs is so long that people scrolling quickly to the bottom may not realise that they've strayed into a list of non-TLDs.I suggest that the article's name be changed from 'list of top level domains' to 'list of domain suffixes' as I do believe the term 'domain suffix' better describes a top level domain as the term domain is now generally accepted as a website's url and adding top level in front of domain confuses people that would be looking at this article. I do believe that the definition of 'domain suffix' is more widely accepted than 'top level domain.' Best, --M79 specialist 02:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The page says
According to the .gov article,
and the US Federal website for .gov registrations confirms this:
* "Parish" is the word used in the US state of Louisiana for the governmental unit called "county" in the other states.
Is there data to show how many of the .gov sites are Federal level? Unless most of them are, "(commonly federal-level)" should be deleted.
Thnidu (talk) 20:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't .cat be listed as a ccTLD? That seems rather obvious to me. But also .gov and .mil. Even though they sound general, they're reserved for the US, so country-specific. For comparison, .eu is for organisations that are EU-related. Such as .mil is US-related. Not quite the same, but very similar. So either .eu or .gov and .mil should move to the other list, I'd say.

IANA quietly created three new country-code top-level domains shortly before Christmas, to represent the new nations created by the breakup of the [Netherlands Antilles] last year.
The new ccTLDs are: .bq for Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba, .cw for Curacao and .sx for Sint Maarten (Dutch part). All three appeared in IANA’s database December 20.
None of the strings are currently delegated. The governments of the respective nations will have to apply to IANA if they want to start using their TLDs on the internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betawatcher (talk • contribs) 08:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

I removed it because we need to be consistent about what is and isn't included. IMHO, it should either be the actual contents of the DNS root zone or the IANA list. The majority of the page is clearly influenced by the IANA list (as that's the only thing to categorize TLDs, etc), so I went with that. Either way, .cs doesn't belong. If someone really wants to record that it used to exist, it belongs in a different table/page with appropriate citations. I.grok (talk) 03:25, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
I would like to try to put what appears to be a bit of a myth to bed. Some places in Wikipedia suggest that the “.ie” domain name is somehow assigned to the island of Ireland. Unsurprisingly, that is not in fact the position. It is assigned to the State named Ireland:
(1) “.ie” is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) – so it is a 2 letter domain established for a country (the Irish State) based on ISO 3166, the standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO); and
(2) registration of a “.ie” is governed by the laws of the Irish State (and no other State) – primarily the Electronic Commerce Act 2000 of Ireland (as amended, notably by the Communications Regulation (Amendment) Act 2007 of Ireland (as amended in 2007)). Section 31 of the Electronic Commerce Act 2000 provides:
““.ie” domain name’ means the top level of the global domain name system assigned to Ireland according to the two-letter code in the International Standard ISO 3166-1 (Codes for Representation of Names of Countries and their Subdivision) of the International Organisation for Standardisation.”
Section 32 continues:
“A person shall not use an ‘.ie’ domain name unless the name is registered in accordance with regulations made under this section.”
It is therefore pretty plain that “.ie” is assigned to the State named Ireland (and not the island!). The fact that it is Ireland’s policy to permit registration of “.ie” by persons with a connection to Ireland and/or Northern Ireland does not change the fact that the “.ie” is the domain name of the Irish State. It is not somehow assigned to “the island of Ireland” or to Ireland and the United Kingdom.
I will make a few amends accordingly. Frenchmalawi (talk) 03:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I've swapped "Palestinian Territories" for "Palestinian Territory, Occupied". This is as per ISO and other sources e.g.[ttp://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/cctlds/ps/mou-17jun04-en.htm]. I was actually surprised that that is the official term. I thought it would be "Palestine" at this point (in line with what I understand is UN usage - maybe it's more nuanced than I thought). I think it's interstsing and worth reflecting in the article. Frenchmalawi (talk) 18:14, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Misty MH (talk) 22:53, 10 July 2013 (UTC) Misty MH (talk) 23:03, 10 July 2013 (UTC) I just noticed the SOURCE of this list here (alphabetized by me) is actually from a pre-registration page; so these may not be available to BUY as yet. (I edited my new addition to reflect this.) I also just noticed this: "choose from over 500 new top-level domains". So, wow. And talk about confusing. Misty MH (talk) 23:03, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
The .tf TLD is now commonly used for websites related to Team Fortress 2. Perhaps this should be noted on this page? It is noted on the .tf wiki page. For examples, see backpack.tf and trade.tf. I am not familiar with Wikipedia reference policy, so I don't know if the sites themselves count as sufficient reference material. 174.55.142.124 (talk) 02:44, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I have separated the "original seven" TLDs from the new ICANN-era TLDs, as these are distinct from the new TLDs, not only by virtue of their history, but also, in the case of the "big three" (.com, .org, .net) by their much greater adoption over time: the uptake of these domains dwarfs that of the ICANN-era branded gTLDs, and is likely to do so for the foreseeable future: see, for example the actual adoption rate of .xxx compared to similar .com domains. — The Anome (talk) 23:00, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

I would like to add a note to the TLD .as in a similar way as is done for .ag (Antigua and Barbuda) used in Germany, with the main difference being that the TLD .as is unofficially used in Norway for stock market registered companies using the abbreviation AS (Aksjeselskap). Are there any requirements for this information to 1) cite external verifiable references, 2) follow specific guidelines? TrondBK (talk) 03:40, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

.uy supports IPv6, yet it is not marked as such
Currently, the situation is a mess, as some of them have redirect pages to this list, some to the article on (new) GTLDs and some have no page at all and appear red. Shouldn't there be some uniformity? The list itself would probably be best if we deleted all the redirects, though it might be counter-intuitive for people searching.

In the ".gov" section this part about ".go" is confusing:
"The .gov TLD is limited to governmental entities and agencies in the U.S. There is also .go which is similar to .gov but can only be used in connection with .jp[12] and .kr.[13]"
The examples lead to sites where .go is not the TLD. Am I misunderstanding something here?
As far as I know, there is no such thing as .go and this information is confusing as there are clearly other second level domains called "go" not in connection with .jp or .kr.
I think what the original author wanted to say is something like: "Other countries have their own .gov equivalent like .go.jp or .go.kr." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.26.21.125 (talk) 14:12, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Someone added .frl in the country list, but it's a region. It's probably a joke/vandalism. It's already mentioned in the geographic regions. I can't find the edit, so I cannot easily revert it. --Jeroen 83.163.196.34 (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

For future reference, the Internet format for K through 12 schools is .K12, followed by a dot state/province code, followed finally by a dot country code. I've corrected that part of the Article accordingly. Please don't revert it! I can point you to Websites belonging to K12 schools (as opposed to Trade schools or Universities) if requested. You will find that they aren't .edu's, because that domain isn't allowed for K12 schools. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 08:08, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I cannot believe that with the plethora of new TLDs, that the MOST important aspect of our universe upon which EVERYTHING else is based, is not represented in this list. Mathematics is the foundation of everything in science and technology, medicine, physics, music, art, design etc etc etc. Where is it??? Why is is it NOT included?
Take away mathematics and nothing else exists. Without it the internet doesn't exist. This list of TLDs doesn't exist.

In section 5.7 of the article, the '.pub' tld has a link to the relevant wiki page. However, this page is a redirect to the page for Microsoft Publisher.

I would do one myself, but unfortunately I do not know how to.Alex80070 (talk) 18:17, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
What criteria has been used to divide generic domains into Corporate, Geographic, Brand and other generic. Is that a verifiable definition by ICANN or someone else, or just an assessment by Wikipedia authors? I don't claim we should merge them, but it would help if there was a useable source. Among the 1500 domains, there are many that seems to have a name based on the owner's name, and which can be assumed to be a brand name, but I haven't heard about many of them and don't want to research so many.--BIL (talk) 19:06, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
The domain .Eco should be added to the list of English 'ICANN-era generic top-level domains'. For 'target market', the domain is for individuals, organizations and companies working toward environmental sustainability. In terms of restrictions, I'd suggest "individuals, organizations and companies committed to positive change for the planet". I'm connected to the organization, so I shouldn't make this edit.

I just noticed that the Basque-language Wikipedia project is at "eu", not "eus". Is this just a "historical accident", meant to not break thousands of established (non-Wikipedia) links?

"As of April 2018, the root domain contains 1534 top-level domains"
There's a typo in this statement in the introduction section. Based on TLD DNSSEC Report (the original source it refers to), it should be "1532 top-level domains".
I am still new to Wiki and can't figure how to edit the introduction section.
