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