What is a TLD?

A TLD, top-level domain, is the last part of a domain name, such as .com, .dev, or .app, and it plays no part in whether the domain resolves correctly.

A TLD, or top-level domain, is the last part of a domain name: .com, .dev, .app, and hundreds of others. It is managed by ICANN and a designated registry per extension, but it plays no part in whether DNS actually resolves correctly. A .dev domain and a .com domain connect the same way once you own one.

Which TLD you pick is a branding decision, not a technical one, and Birta does not care which extension your domain carries.

For how to actually connect whichever domain you already own, see connect a domain you already own.
