The Overview of the Top-Level Domains (TLDs)
HI Hi, Greetings!
Happy January 
Today, I would like to share with you an article about the overview of the Top-Level Domains (TLDs). Let's move to the article and I will explain part by part.
PART 03:
Type of Top-Level Domain (TLD):
03. Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)
Individual countries and territories have 312 country code top-level domains, each having a two-letter string to identify them. These domain extensions are overseen by dedicated managers who guarantee that each ccTLD is run in accordance with local rules and adheres to regional cultural, linguistic, and legal requirements.
ccTLDs are extensively utilized by large firms with regional sites that function autonomously, in addition to local businesses and individuals. In these cases, domain extensions serve the same purpose as subdomains. If you intend to use a country code top-level domain on your website, keep this in mind when looking for the best domain registrar, as not all platforms allow you to register a ccTLD.
In 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced the addition of the first non-Latin character ccTLDs to the domain name system root zone. Languages including Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, and Cyrillic are represented by these domain extensions, which are known as internationalized country code top-level domains (IDN ccTLD).
The following are some of the most common ccTLDs:
• .us - for the United States
• .cn - for China
• .lk - for Sri Lanka
• .in - for India

04. Top-Level Domain for Infrastructure (ARPA)
The Address and Routing Parameter Area is the only TLD in this unique category (ARPA). The IANA manages the .arpa domain extension on behalf of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which is governed by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB). It is solely used for technical infrastructure.
05. Experiment with top-level domains (tTLDs)
Test top-level domains are just for documentation and local testing and cannot be put in the domain name system's root zone. According to the IETF, the goal of reserving certain specific domain extensions is to minimize conflict and confusion.
There are four top-level domains (tTLDs):
•.example - for reserving a spot
•.invalid - for domain names that aren't valid.
•.localhost is a domain for use in local networks.
•.test - for the purpose of testing
