A domain name extension is the last piece of a domain name that reflects the country or nature of the domain name. A distinction is made between two types of extensions, namely generic and national. Examples of national extensions are: nl, .be, .fr and .de. Generic extensions include .com, .net, .org, .tel and .mobi. In addition, more and more new extensions are appearing that describe the nature of the domain name even more concretely. Examples are: .sport, .music, .film, .hotel and .site.
