There are a variety of domain names, commonly referred to as Top Level Domains (TLDs), available to the public. Trinic has selected the most popular TLDs, and are offering them to our customers. We are constantly adding new TLDs to our registration services.
The TLDs we offer are listed below and are accompanied by a description as to the origin and suggested use of the domain names. If you would like to know if your domain name is available, please visit the Search page.

It was intially geared towards commercial organizations, but has evolved into a standard domain name recognized around the world. |

| .org | This is the third most common TLD on the Internet. When it was first released, it was encouraged that only non-profit organizations use this TLD, but it too has evolved into a standard domain name recognized around the world. '.org' is a gTLD. |

This is one of our most popular ccTLDs as we are based in Canada. CIRA, the organization governing '.ca' domain names in Canada only allow Canadian Residents and Citizens to register a '.ca' domain name.

| .cc | This is the TLD for the country of Cocos (Keeling Islands). The Government of Cocos allows any person to register one of their domain names. However, similar to most ccTLD, '.cc' is slightly more expensive as the respective country is entitled to a percentage of the profits. |

| .tv | This is the ccTLD for the country of Tuvalu, a small Pacific Island. This is the fastest growing ccTLD in the world. The Government of Tuvalu allows any person to register a '.tv' domain name. This ccTLD is more expensive than a gTLD as the respective country is entitled to a percentage of the profits. |

| .uk | This is the ccTLD for the United Kingdom. The '.uk' TLD itself is restricted to residents of the United Kingdom. Therefore, we offer two Second Level Domains (SLDs), '.co.uk' and '.org.uk'. Any person can register either of these two SLDs. Due to the fact that they are a Second Level Domain, they are considerably less expensive than a gTLD. |
