gTLD

Generic top-level domain. A TLD open to anyone, no residency or nationality requirement—unlike country codes. The original gTLDs (.com, .org, .net, .edu, .gov, .mil, .int) were joined after 2013 by hundreds of new gTLDs (.tech, .crypto, .xyz, .blog, etc.). All are managed by ICANN-accredited registries and registrars. Why it matters: gTLDs are the default for global businesses, privacy advocates, and offshore operators who want no geographic anchor. They're also the battleground for DMCA takedowns and UDRP disputes—registries tend to comply with US court orders faster than many ccTLDs. At bunkerdomains, we host gTLDs with zero WHOIS hand-over, crypto payment, and no automatic DMCA replies. Some gTLDs (.crypto, .blockchain, .nft) market to crypto communities; others (.xxx, .adult) serve free-speech industries. Renewal cycles are annual; no special jurisdictional armor, but also no local residency tax.
