Hello friends,







What is domain extension.......?

The Domain Name System (DNS) was invented in 1983. This system allowed a name to be attached to the numeric IP address, meaning that instead of a long string of numbers like 79.170.40.2, a specific place on the internet could be identified by a name, like ‘baloogi.com’ – much easier to remember!
In 1984, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) established the first six domain extensions:
.com | .edu | .gov | .mil | .org | .net
Shortly afterwards, the first two-character country code extensions (like .uk and .us) were established.
It wasn’t until much later in 1998, with the creation of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that any new domain extensions (except country code extensions) came into use.
