More About STLDs

 Unlike generic TLDs that are open to the general public, sTLDs cater to specific communities. Examples include .aero (for the aviation industry), .coop (for cooperatives), and .museum (for museums).

The sponsors of these TLDs establish and enforce rules regarding who can register within the domain extension, ensuring relevancy and maintaining standards.
