What is a geographical top-level domain (geoTLD)?

A Geographic Top-Level Domain (geoTLD) is a domain extension that represents a specific geographical or regional area, such as a city or region. Examples include .NYC for New York City and .LONDON for the city of London.

Key Features:

  • Length: GeoTLDs are typically at least three characters long.
  • Difference from ccTLDs: Unlike country code TLDs (ccTLDs), which are two characters and represent countries, geoTLDs can represent broader areas like cities, provinces, and continents.
  • Search Engine Targeting: As geoTLDs are considered generic TLDs (gTLDs), they typically don’t have regional search engine targeting.

GeoTLDs provide unique domain naming options for businesses and individuals aiming to establish a presence in specific locations or regions.
