Top Level Domains

A defintion of a top level domain from Wikipedia is "A top-level domain (TLD) is one of the domains at the highest level in the hierarchical Domain Name System of the Internet. The top-level domain names are installed in the root zone of the name space." For this assignment I will describe 10 top level domains.
1. .com: This involves commercial entities. Initially created for profit websites it eventually turned into a top level domain that is most used because anyone can register.
2. .gov: This involves government entities. Only US government people are allowed to use it.
3. .edu: This involves education entities
4. .net: network
5. .org: organization
6. .mil: military
7. .job: companies
8. .pro: professional
9. .biz: businesses
10. .info: an open top level domain that anyone can register to but is mostly used for webstites that convey information
