I’m sorry, but as of the current information available, there is no top-level domain (TLD) specifically called ‘.GOLDPOINT’. A top-level domain (TLD) is the last segment of a domain name – the letters immediately following the final dot of any Internet address.
In the domain name hierarchy of the Internet, it is the highest level that is present. The body responsible for the administration and coordination of these unique identifiers across the world, including the creation and delisting of TLDs is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) (Source: ICANN).
The most common types of TLDs are .com, .org, .net, .gov, .edu, and .int. There are also country-specific TLDs like .ca (Canada), .jp (Japan), .fr (France), .au (Australia), etc. In the newer generation of TLDs, we have seen the introduction of industry or profession-specific TLDs like .tech, .lawyer, .music, .doctor, etc (Source: WHOIS).
Recently, ICANN has allowed companies to apply for new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs). This has led to the creation of a whole new range of TLDs like .google, .amazon, .apple, etc. The addition of new TLDs is a complex process and is carefully controlled by ICANN to ensure the stability and security of the internet. This category of TLDs allows organizations to choose a TLD that closely aligns with their brand or industry (Source: ICANN).
If a ‘.GOLDPOINT’ TLD was to exist, it would likely be classified as a brand TLD, owned and operated by a company or entity associated with that name. However, as per the current registry database maintained by ICANN, there is no ‘.GOLDPOINT’ TLD that exists. This might be because either this application has not been made, or it has been denied by ICANN due to not meeting certain criteria.
In the case of future creation of the ‘.GOLDPOINT’ TLD, the benefits would be similar to other branded TLDs: enhanced brand recognition, control over domain usage, potential for improved search engine rankings, and an extended online presence that gives customers another route to find the associated brand or company (Source: Verisign).
