Domain Name Extensions
A domain extension is the combination
of characters following the period in a
web address. Domain name extensions
are the last part of a domain name. For
example, in 'ssccglpinnacle.com,' the
domain name extension is .com.
A top-level domain (TLD) is the rightmost
segment of a domain name, located after
the last dot.
The concept of TLDs was created by
ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects
Agency Network) in the 1960s with the
goal of easing the process of
memorizing IP addresses.
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
The ICANN (The Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers)
classifies top-level domains into different
categories depending on the site’s
purpose, owner and geographic location.
Types of Domains
Generic Top-level Domains (gTLD)
Generic top-level domains, commonly
known as gTLD, are the most popular
and familiar types of domain extensions.
The most common usages of generic
top-level domains include:
.com → It is for commercial
sites.
.net → It is for networks.
.info→ It is for information
platforms.
.biz→ It is for businesses.
.org → It is for organizations.
Sponsored Top-level Domains
(sTLD)
Sponsored top-level domains are those
proposed and supervised by private
organizations.
Some of the most popular sTLDs are:
.edu→ It is for higher
educational institutions.
.gov→ It is for United States
governmental agencies.
.cat→ It is for Catalan
linguistic and cultural
community.
.travel → It is for travel
industry businesses.
.museum → It is for museum
organizations.
Country Code Top-level Domains
(ccTLD)
Some of the most well-known ccTLD
include:
.In → The .in domain name
extension is for the country of
India.
.Us → .us is the Internet country
code top-level domain for the

Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App
Computer Knowledge
.De → The .de domain name
extension is for the country of
Germany.
.Uk → The .uk domain name
extension is for the United
Kingdom.
Cn → The .cn domain name
extension is for the country of

Infrastructure Top-Level Domain
(ARPA)
This special category contains only one
TLD: the Address and Routing Parameter
Area (ARPA). The .arpa domain
extension is managed directly by the
IANA for the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF).
Test Top-Level Domains (tTLD)
Test top-level domains are reserved for
documentation purposes and local
testing, and cannot be installed into the
root zone of the domain name system.
There are four tTLDs:
.example → It is for place
holding.
.invalid → It is for invalid domain
names.
.localhost → It is for usage in
local networks.
.test→ It is for testing purposes
Below are some other popular
domain names:
.xyz→ An open extension available
for general use
.ly → Country code for Libya, but
used by many tech startups for
creative spellings. Like Bitly.
.site → A . site domain name is a
clear indication that you also
have a website and a . site can be
registered by anyone!

Some Terminology Related to
Operating system
A socket is used to make connections
between two applications. Endpoints of
the connection are called sockets.
Kernel is the core and most important
part of a computer operating system
which provides basic services for all
parts of the OS.
A process is said to be thrashing if the
CPU spends more time serving page
faults than executing the pages.
Thrashing affects the performance of
execution in the Operating system.
A thread is a basic unit of CPU
utilization. It consists of a thread ID,
program counter, register set and a
stack.

Computer Knowledge
Deadlock is a specific situation or
condition where two processes are
waiting for each other to complete so
that they can start.
Fragmentation is a phenomenon of
memory wastage. It reduces the capacity
and performance because space is used
inefficiently.
Spooling is a process in which data is
temporarily gathered to be used and
executed by a device, program or the
system. It is associated with printing. In
computing, spooling is a specialized
form of multi-programming for the
purpose of copying data between
different devices.
Semaphore is a protected variable or
abstract data type that is used to lock
the resource being used. A semaphore is
simply an integer variable that is shared
between threads.
Overlays make a process to be larger
than the amount of memory allocated to
it. It ensures that only important
instructions and data at any given time
are kept in memory. Overlaying is defined
as "the process of inserting a block of
computer code or other data into internal
memory, replacing what is already there.
Daemon - Disk and execution monitor, is
a process that runs in the background
without user’s interaction. They usually
start at the booting time and terminate
when the system is shut down.
