All Available Top Level Domains
Intro
I'm getting pretty tired of trying to find a name for a side project with an available .com or .io domain. So I decided to make a list of all available domain extensions.
I want to be able to name things without worrying about the domain name being taken. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
There is still trademark to take into consideration, but it's significantly more difficult for people to squat on trademarks.
Domain Types
There are a few different types of top level domains. Here are the most common:
-
gTLD Generic Top Level Domains. These are the most common and include .com, .org, .net, etc. These are available for public registration.
-
ccTLD Country Code Top Level Domains. These are specific to a country or territory. For example, .us, .uk, .ca, etc. Many of these are available for public registration, such as
.io, however many are restricted. You'll need to check on a case by case basis. -
geoTLD Geographic Top Level Domains. These are specific to a geographic location. For example, .nyc, .paris, .berlin, etc. These are restricted and you'll need to meet certain criteria to register them.
-
sTLD Sponsored Top Level Domains. These are sponsored by a specific organization or community. For example, .gov, .edu, .mil, etc. These are restricted and you'll need to meet certain criteria to register them.
-
Brand These are top level domains that are owned by a specific brand. For example, .google, .apple, .amazon, etc. These are restricted and you'll need to meet certain criteria to register them.
-
Infrastructure These are top level domains that are used for infrastructure. For example, .arpa, .root, .onion, etc. These are restricted and you'll need to meet certain criteria to register them.
Therefore if you are searching for a domain name for a project, you should focus on gTLDs and ccTLDs. The table can be filtered.
