What domain zone to register in, and what is important to know before registration

Until now, not everyone is well oriented outside the usual domain zones "ru" and "com". I'll tell you what options are relevant today, and how to choose the best one among them. 

To understand domain zones, you need to know how domains work. Domain name (site address) consists of several levels, separated by periods. Most often, of the two: 

Numbering goes from right to left. Here: "ru" is the domain zone (the first, it is the top or root domain), "sitename" is the name (second), which the administrator comes up with, may include letters, numbers, hyphens.

Each new level is created based on the previous one. For example, the second contains all variants of the third, the third - the fourth, and so on. The nested parts are called subdomains. 

“Catalog” and “zakaz” are subdomains of “sitename.ru”, they are also domains of the third and fourth levels, respectively. You can create up to 127 subdomains, but the final address should not exceed 255 characters (you will be surprised, but there are such long domain names!).

The statistics show that most sites have an address with a length of about 10-15 characters. I couldn't find an explanation for the jump to position "32". If anyone knows, please share.
