TLD is the abbreviated name of "Top Level Domain", gTLD is "generic TLD", ccTLD is the abbreviated name of "country code TLD", and the domain currently used in the world is roughly classified into these two. Moreover, about the domestic domain, all are classified into ccTLD, synthesize gTLD and ccTLD domain classification except ccTLD of this Japan, and are calling it the "overseas domain."
