What are nTLDs and how are they different from other TLDs?
What Are nTLDs?
nTLDs (short for new Top-Level Domains) are the newer, more creative website endings like .tech, .design, .coffee, or .shop. They’re different from the classics you’ve seen forever—like .com, .net, or .org.
The big difference? nTLDs give you way more choices. Most of the good names with .com are already taken, but with nTLDs you can grab something specific to what you do.
Examples:
www.lisaskitchen.catering
www.jimmybikes.shop
It instantly tells people what your site’s about.
They’re also great for branding. A unique domain makes your website stand out, feel modern, and be more memorable. People are getting used to them too—especially as big companies adopt them (like abc.xyz from Google’s parent company, Alphabet).
ICANN started releasing these around 2013 to give the internet more room to grow. Think of it like opening up new neighborhoods in a crowded city.
