It appears that there has been a misunderstanding with the question as “.pramerica” is not recognized as a top level domain (TLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet.
According to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the agency responsible for overseeing the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources, there is no “.pramerica” TLD. Their online database of TLDs, which is fully accessible to the public, does not list or recognize “.pramerica” as a valid TLD (source: IANA).
The most common types of TLDs are:
1. gTLD (Generic Top Level Domains): This is the most common type and includes domains like .com, .net, .org, .info etc.
1. ccTLD (Country Code Top Level Domains): This is a two letter domain that is associated with a country or a geographical location e.g. .us for United States, .uk for United Kingdom, .eu for European Union etc.
1. sTLD (Sponsored Top Level Domains): sTLDs are overseen by private organizations, with specific guidelines which restrict who can register them. Some examples are .aero, .asia, .cat, .coop, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .museum, .tel, .travel.
1. nTLD (New Top Level Domains): nTLDs are the latest type of domains that provide a wide range of choices for businesses and individuals e.g. .club, .business, .email, .marketing, .social etc.
Another likely scenario could be that “pramerica” is a second-level domain registered under a different TLD. For example, pramerica.com or pramerica.net where “pramerica” is indeed the second-level domain and “.com” or “.net” is the TLD.
Pramerica is a trade name used by various subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc., across the world. For instance, there’s Pramerica Systems Ireland Ltd and Pramerica Life Insurance Limited in India. But again, it is important to emphasize that “pramerica” is not a top level domain.
The best way to check the availability of TLD is to look it up on the official list provided by IANA or check through domain registration services such as Namecheap, GoDaddy etc.
