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?”

Governments don’t directly control DNS, it’s controlled by ICANN – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, an American nonprofit organization. Governments are given control over country-level domains, like .it and .us and .gov. You might assume .com means American but it technically doesn’t.
It is possible for a website to not have any domain. It would just use its IP address. That’s all DNS does, as it’s core function, is convert human-readable domain names to IP addresses.
