GeoTLD

Geotld is like a special type of website address that tells you where it comes from. Just like how you have an address that tells people where you live, a website has an address that people type in their computer to find it.

But some website addresses have special endings that tell you what country or region that website is from. So, for example, a website address for a website in Japan might end with .jp or a website in Australia might end with .au.

These special endings are called geotld, which stands for geographic top-level domain. They help people recognize where a website is from and trust it more if they are looking for information or products from a specific country or region. So, if you see a website that ends with .ca, you know that it is from Canada.
