Generic Top Level Domain Extension [gTLDs]-They were meant to be used by a particular class of organization. However this has not been upheld since there is no control as to who uses them and for what purpose she uses them for. The common types of gTLDs are .com, .net, .org, .info of this all .com is the most popularly used.
Country Level Domain Extension [ccTLDs]-They represent specific countries and independent territories. They have two letters only.

Categories of Domain Names
A domain name will either fit in one of the following categories:
Generic Domains-cannot be trademarked on their own. These words are names of products, services, processes, places, etc. They will have any type of extension. A dot com is the most extension used in them.
Trade Names-These are trademarks of organization brands that are owned by organizations. They are also owned by individuals. These names are owned only by the owner and it’s illegal for anyone else to use them.
Brand able or Nonsense Names-are the types of names that don’t have any inherent meaning or use on their own. They are just a combination of words. These names do not have any or much value on their own due to the fact that they have immense number of combinations available.
Before you hurry and buy your domain name, it’s important first that you do some research. If you register a domain name without first inquiring whether it’s legal or not, you might find yourself in trouble. Let trouble find you but not you finding it.
Don’t register a domain name that is currently a name of a company or a trademark of an organization or individual. They may sue you and you may end up paying huge amount of money as a penalty.
Avoid Free Domain Names because when you have fully gained momentum of your online business, there will be a catch involved. There will be advertisements on your website which you will not control.
A gain you may want to register your own domain name sometime later on but unfortunately you will end up learning a valuable lesson.

So never ever go in for free domain names, they are hurting.
