gTLD stands for generic top-level domain, which is a type of domain extension. The terms "domain extension" and "top-level domain (TLD)" are often used interchangeably, and gTLDs are the largest category of TLDs. Here is a breakdown of the terms:
Domain Extension / Top-Level Domain (TLD): This is the last part of a website address, after the final dot (e.g., the ".com" in "example.com").
Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD): This is a category of TLDs that is generally not tied to a specific country or geographic location. Popular examples such as .com, .org, .xyz, and new extensions like .one, .asia, or .click.
In short, "gTLD" refers to a specific type of domain extension. All gTLDs are extensions, but not all extensions are gTLDs (some are country-specific like .my, for example).
