Why it matters
The TLD shapes price, trust and resale value. A .com usually sells for far more than the same name in a newer extension, because buyers expect .com first. TLDs fall into groups such as generic, country-code and sponsored. Each TLD has one registry that runs it. A common mistake is assuming a cheap new extension carries the same demand as .com. Check comparable sales in that exact extension before you price or buy.
