A TLD is an abbreviation for Top Level Domain. It is basically referring to the extension your domain ends in. The 3 original TLD’s were .com / .net / and .org. Each had their own specific functions. Com was designed for Company (or business), Net was designed for Networks, and Org for Organizations.

Today, there are many TLD’s and something called a ccTLD. ccTLD’s are Country Code Domain Names. An example of a ccTLD would be .us = United States.

When it comes to domain value, the first 3 TLD’s are without a doubt, masters of their domains. (Pun Intended). Com reigns supreme over any other TLD, its considered by nearly everyone as the prime domain to own. If you dont own the .com - your not as established as you might think.

Net and Org follow suit, Net edges Org in most cases for value, however you will find many Domain Experts who believe the .org TLD to be stronger then .net, especially in any case where the keyword fits the TLD description better.
