I’m sorry for any confusion, but currently there is no top-level domain (TLD) registered as .WOODSIDE according to the official list of TLDs maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which is a department of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN is the international organization responsible for coordinating the maintenance and procedures of databases related to the namespaces and numerical spaces of the Internet.
TLDs are the last segment of a domain name, or the part that follows immediately after the “dot” symbol. Examples include .com, .net, .org, .gov, .edu and regional ones such as .uk or .eu. They can be roughly classified into two types: generic TLDs (gTLDs) and country-code TLDs (ccTLDs). The latter are specific to geographical locations; for instance, .uk for the United Kingdom.
ICANN provides the opportunity for organizations to apply for new gTLDs. For example, large businesses and cities have done this in recent years – .google, .apple, .nyc, .london, etc. So, theoretically, “Woodside” could apply to have .woodside as a new gTLD, if it was a company or a brand.
If it was a TLD, the technical description of .woodside would involve the DNS (Domain Name System) records associated with it. When you enter a URL into a web browser, the DNS system turns the alphabetical web address into a numerical IP address, in a process known as resolution, so the browser can load the desired webpage. The TLD is a crucial part of this process.
In conclusion, .woodside is not currently recognized as a TLD. It could potentially become one if a relevant organization applied for it and was approved by ICANN. But as of now, it doesn’t exist in the official IANA TLD database. The database is publicly available on the IANA website for anyone interested to confirm this (source: https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db).
