| nTLD | New TLD |
| gTLD | General TLD |
| geoTLD | Geographical TLD |

API call
We try to keep the information on the reference chart up to date. However, if you want to check the information's accuracy, you can do so by whitelisting your IP first, then by running a GetTLDdetails API call.
Note: API calls are available to reseller accounts only, not retail accounts.
