Top Level Domain
A Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the last segment of a domain name, like .com, .net, or .org.
These are also known as domain TLDs, and traditionally, only a few centralized organizations had the authority to own or manage them

Top Level Domains Questions
What is a Top-Level Domain (TLD)?
A TLD is the highest level of a domain name system. It is the extension at the end of a web address, such as .com or .org. With Freename, you can create and own a custom TLD for Web3.
How does a custom TLD work?
When you register a custom TLD with us, you own that extension and can allow others to register domains under it. For example, if you own .investing, others can buy domains like mybrand.fashion. Some Web3 TLDs are highly demanded and are valued as premium domains.
Can I make money with my TLD?
Yes! Every time someone registers a domain under your TLD, you earn revenues through Freename Royalties. Freename provides a seamless revenue-sharing model to help you monetize your digital asset.
What’s the difference between Web2 and Web3 TLDs?
Web2 TLDs are controlled by centralized organizations like ICANN, while Web3 TLDs operate on blockchain technology. This means Web3 TLDs are decentralized, more secure, and resistant to censorship.
What's the difference between gTLDs and ccTLDs?
In traditional domains (Web2):
- gTLD stands for generic Top-Level-Domain, the most common TLDs would be '.com', '.org' or .'net'. It refers to domains that are not country specific.
- ccTLD stands for country code Topl-Level-Domain; the dot.country endings like '.ca' for Canada, '.it' for Italy, '.de' for Germany, '.fr' for France etc. Some ccTLD are also used as 'generic' domains because they are easy to associate with a concept: one example is '.io' that became popular and it is not a gTLD but a ccTLD (country code of: British Indian Ocean Territory).
Can I get a free TLD forever?
TLDs are not free, but once you reserve it, it's yours endlessly. You pay once and the TLD is your forever. There is a variety of prices going from as little as $79 up. You can also earn and monetize on SLDs sold under your TLD (with Freename royalties once activated). The price varies different factors, if it's a premium Top-Level Domain, the TLD length in characters or numbers and if emojis are included. Did you know you can also have emojis in your web3 TLDs?
