A top-level domain (TLD), sometimes referred to as a top-level domain name (TLDN), is the last part of an Internet domain name; that is, the letters which follow the final dot of any domain name. For example, in the domain name www.example.com, the top-level domain is com.
A generic domain name is a domain name that features a word or words that can not be trademarked on their own. These names are typically products or services but can also be categories, processes, phrases, job titles, places and dictionary words.
A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country or a dependent territory. ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs. Creation and delegation of ccTLDs is performed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
The Internet has about 240 top-level domains but some of the country domain names have just a few thousand registrants because no one quite knows what good they are.
This means that one server may have multiple roles such as hosting multiple independent Web sites), or that one role can be spread among many servers. One ip address can also be assigned to several servers, as used in anycast and hijacked IP space

Dell Computer vs Trademark Infringing Domainers
In a push against automated trademark infringing domainers, Dell filed a lawsuit against three Florida Registrars on November 16, 2007, based on complaints of cybersquatting, trademark infringement, counterfeiting, dilution, and unfair competition.
Dell Inc., along with Alienware Corporation, a subsidiary of Dell, brought this action against BelgiumDomains, CapitolDomains, and DomainDoorman.com. Netrian Ventures and iHoldings.com were also named in the filing, as they are also controlled by the man that is behind it all, Juan Pablo Vazquez (known as “JP” Vazquez). According to the allegations, JP Vazquez was in charge of conducting the day-to-day operations of all five companies, which have often worked together as a single entity for the purpose of unlawful activity.
The defendants have collectively registered and are monetizing over 64 million unique domain names, thousands of them beginning with “Dell”, and are believed to be using an automated process to obtain the majority of them. They are also accused of making successful attempts at concealing their identity using shell-entities, fictitious business and personal names, as well as restricting the publicly viewable WHOIS databases of BelgiumDomains, CapitolDomains, and DomainDoorman.
