FAQs about domain extensions by country
A ccTLD (country code top-level domain) is a two-letter domain extension assigned to a specific country within the domain name system. These country codes are based on the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard, using two Latin characters to identify each nation. Each ccTLD is managed by a designated registry, and unlike generic top-level domains such as .com or .org, ccTLDs represent a geographic location. ICANN works in coordination with IANA to delegate ccTLDs to local registries, who then manage the process for website owners.
The complete list of ccTLDs includes over 300 country code extensions currently in use worldwide. Each code corresponds to a specific nation, and the registry responsible for each TLD manages operations according to local guidelines. Below you'll find the complete list of top-level domain country code extensions currently available:

ICANN oversees the delegation of ccTLDs to designated registries in each country, working in coordination with IANA to evaluate requests from governments and organizations seeking to manage a country code. The process involves verifying that the proposed registry has the technical capability to manage the TLD, including DNS operations and DNSSEC implementation. Once delegated, the registry can register domain names and establish its own policies. ICANN can also delete or re-delegate a ccTLD when circumstances change, as happened with the Netherlands Antilles code.
A ccTLD is a country code top-level domain representing a specific country using a two-letter code, while a gTLD is a generic domain not tied to any location, such as .com or .org. ccTLDs are managed by registries designated for each nation, whereas gTLDs operate under registries that ICANN has approved for broader use. From a website perspective, choosing a ccTLD signals a country-specific focus, while generic domains are preferred for international audiences.
Choosing between a ccTLD and a generic domain extension depends on your website's target audience. If you primarily serve customers in a specific country, registering a ccTLD can boost local credibility and has SEO implications, search engines may favor ccTLDs when ranking results for users in that country. Generic TLDs like .com are better suited for websites with an international focus. Consider whether the ccTLD has local presence requirements, and remember that many businesses register both a ccTLD and a generic extension to protect their domain name across markets.
