A gTLD is a “generic top-level domain” and refers to the extension at the ending of a website address, like .com, .org or .net. Generic top-level domains can be purchased and used by anyone and are not restricted to a geographical region. The “newer” gTLDs refer to the more than 1,000 domain extensions that were recently approved for generic use by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). These newer gTLDs include .xyz, .online, .vip and many, many more.
