websites without a .com or equivalent domain?

375 views

Take [kahoot.it](https://kahoot.it) for example, .it is a country level domain, and there’s no .com or .gov. How does that work?

Also, websites without a .country ending is assumed to be in the US. So, if it’s possible for a website to not have a .com level domain and the assumption is .us, then is it possible for a website to “not have any domain?”

There are a handul of top level domains (the last part of a web address, the .com, .net, etc part) that hold specific purposes. .com, net, org, gov, mil, are all very specific things for the most part but a lot of it is becoming less and less regulated.

Most countries have their own as well. .it is Italy, I think? But again, a lot of that isn’t regulated.

After that, a LOT of stuff has been opened up to a free for all. You can’t create your own TLD but a lot exist already, and often are used for businesses to play on words.
