How to: TLD nameserver
A TLD nameserver maintains information for all the domain names that share a common domain extension, such as `.com`, `.net`, or whatever comes after the last dot in a URL.

Management of TLD nameservers is handled by the [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)](https://www.iana.org), which is a branch of [ICANN](https://www.icann.org). The IANA breaks up the TLD servers into two main groups:

- **Generic top-level domains**: These are domains like `.com`, `.org`, `.net`, `.edu`, and `.gov`.
- **Country code top-level domains**: These include any domains that are specific to a country or state. Examples include `.uk`, `.us`, `.ru`, and `.jp`.
