'''.gov''' is one of the original top-level domain names ([[TLD]]s) that was implemented in the [[Root Zone|root zone]] of the internet Domain Name System ([[DNS]]). The domain is a short term for "government." It is restricted for the use of government agencies in the United States, therefore it is considered a sponsored top-level domain name ([[sTLD]]). The other TLDs introduced by Jon Postel and Joyce Reynolds were [[.arpa]] [[.com]], [[.edu]], [[.net]], [[.mil]], and [[.org]].<ref>[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc920 RFC 920]</ref> The General Services Administration ([[GSA]]), an independent agency responsible in supervising the businesses of the United States federal government serves as the administrator of .gov domain.<ref>[http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104774 About GSA]</ref>
