Answers to your questions about domain names

What is an extension?

An extension is the appendix of a domain name which makes it possible to deduce the country of origin of the website or the kind of website that you are dealing with.

Each country and each business region has its own extension. Belgium, for instance, has the .be and the United States have the .us. Further, there are also several generic extensions, such as .biz for Business, .com for Commercial and .info for Information.
