TLD Reference Chart

The TLD reference chart is a great way to find information specific to a TLD, such as the registry provider, grace and redemption periods, and other details about the TLD.

TLD types

nTLD New TLD
gTLD General TLD
geoTLD Geographical TLD

Filters

To narrow your search on the reference sheet, you can set filters to search for TLDs associated with a specific registry or to see what domains are auto-renew only, and the list goes on.

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.
