Find the Perfect Domain Name for Your Business | Rocket Host

Your domain name is your online identity. It’s the first thing people see when they visit your website, and choosing the right domain extension (TLD) is crucial for branding, credibility, and reaching the right audience.

At Rocket Host, we provide global and country-specific TLDs so businesses, startups, and professionals can register the best domain for their goals.

1. What is a TLD (Top-Level Domain)?

A TLD is the part of a domain name that comes after the dot.

Example:

CopyEditwww.mybusiness.com
  • TLD: .com
  • Domain name: mybusiness

TLDs help users and search engines understand the purpose or location of a website.

We divide TLDs into two main types:

  1. Global TLDs (gTLDs) – Used worldwide (e.g., .com, .org)
  2. Country-Specific TLDs (ccTLDs) – Tied to a country or region (e.g., .co.ke for Kenya)

2. Global TLDs We Offer

Global TLDs are universal and widely trusted, perfect for businesses with international reach.

Here’s a breakdown of popular global TLDs you can buy at Rocket Host:
