.nl is the top level domain for Netherlands.
The three parts of a domain name are the host record (www, @(none) or *(other)), the SLD (second level domain) and the TLD (top level domain) or ccTLD (country code top level domain). For example wiki.answers.com:wiki = host nameanswers = SLD (second level domain).com = TLD (top level domain)
The United-States of America TLD (Top Level Domain) is .us
TLD means Top-level Domain. So...... 22 Top Level Domain??
dot cn The TLD (top level domain) for the country of China is ".cn"
I think you're referring to the top level domain. .cn is the top level domain for mainland China.
