A TLD is a Top Level Domain e.g. in www.mydomain.com, ‘com’ is the TLD. gTLD is used to describe the generic Top Level Domains (e.g. .com, .net. edu etc), ccTLD is used to denote the country code Top Level Domains e.g. .ca is Canada and .tv is Tuvala.

A “Top Level Domain” is what comes after the last dot in a Domain Name. Or, to put another way, what is to the ‘right” of the final dot.Some of the most commonly known Top Level Domains are: .com, .net, and .org and .au. The Top Level Domain types such as .com, .net and .org have been around for many years (since the Internet took its current form). Most of the possible (and comprehensible) Domain Names have been allocated from these TLDs. I have registered my top level domain name from this site Tucktail.com
