TLD comparison tool — compare domain extensions side by side

Pick extensions and compare them instantly · Updated

In one sentence

Use the tool below to compare any two or three domain extensions side by side — type, registry, intended use, trust signal and SEO effect — then open any extension's full reference page for prices and examples. The data is compiled from the IANA root zone database and registry sources. Remember: no generic TLD ranks better than another, so compare on trust and fit.

Reference data from the IANA root zone database and registry information. Prices are indicative ranges; confirm at your registrar. See methodology.

How to read the comparison

The most important row is the last one: SEO ranking effect. For every generic extension it reads "none", because Google and Bing rank valid generic TLDs equally — there is no scoreboard to climb by switching extensions. Country codes used generically (like .io, .ai, .co, .me) are treated as generic in practice too, so the same rule applies. That frees you to decide on the rows that matter — type, registry stability, intended use and trust — and to match the extension's signal to your project.

For the complete catalogue of every extension with full detail pages (meaning, registry, example sites and typical price), browse the master TLD list or the curated comparison overview. For pricing specifically, the cheapest TLDs table ranks extensions by cost.
