Domain extensions, or top-level domains (TLDs), are the endings of web addresses. Some of the most well-known ones are .com, .org or .net, but there's a vast range of other options available. 

For example, the domain extension .rocks is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that is used to convey a sense of enthusiasm, excellence or strength. It's often chosen by entities looking to showcase their expertise or passion in a particular field. The term "rocks" in this context implies a positive, dynamic and impactful presence.

The .rocks domain extension was introduced in 2014. The extension was introduced to provide an alternative to traditional generic domain extensions, allowing individuals and businesses to create memorable and expressive web addresses.
