Overview
Choosing a relevant domain name for a business is
the most important part of presenting a business
online.
The most popular TLDs since the beginning has
been .com, .org and .net.
The scenario of TLDs changed when new gTLDs were
launched in January, 2014.
There was a belief that having a keyword-rich TLD
would impact ranking for a website but this myth
regarding new gTLDs was addressed by Matt Cutts
quite earlier.
