A '''Brand TLD''' is an innovative type of [[TLD|top level domain name]] (TLD) that is made possible through the implementation of [[ICANN]]'s [[new gTLD Program]]. A Brand TLD provides the opportunity for branded corporations to use their corporate name as their website's top-level identifier instead of using a more traditional [[.com]] or [[.biz]] domain space.
