The domain extension is part of the URL that follows the main domain name and is meant to categorize websites based on their type or purpose.
For example, in www.example.com, ".com" is the domain extension, which can vary depending on different factors and intentions.
There are several types of common domain extensions:
- Generic top-level domains (gTLDs): .com and .net
- Sponsored top-level domains (sTLDs): .gov
- Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs): .uk, .us and .au
- Restricted domain extensions: .job
