Legacy TLD

Legacy TLDs are the original generic top-level domains that existed before ICANN's New gTLD Program. The legacy gTLDs are .com (1985), .net (1985), .org (1985), .edu (1985), .gov (1985), .mil (1985), and .int (1988). They enjoy the highest brand recognition and trust.

Example

.com, .net, and .org are the three unrestricted legacy gTLDs available to anyone worldwide.
