Top-level domain
A
top-level domain
(
TLD
) is one of the
domains
at the highest level in the hierarchical
Domain Name System
of the
Internet
. The top-level domain names are installed in the
root zone
of the name space. For all domains in lower levels, it is the last part of the
domain name
, that is, the last label of a
fully qualified domain name
. For example, in the domain name
www.example.com
, the top-level domain is
com
. Responsibility for management of most top-level domains is delegated to specific organizations by the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN), which operates the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA), and is in charge of maintaining the
DNS root zone
.
