Country domain questions

What is a country-code domain?

A country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a domain extension assigned to a country or territory. Most use the two-letter ISO 3166-1 code, such as .fr for France or .jp for Japan. There are exceptions: the United Kingdom's ISO code is GB, but its main extension is .uk.

How many country-code domains are there?

There are 309 active country-code domains in the IANA root zone: 248 two-letter codes and 61 internationalized extensions in local scripts.

Why do some countries have more than one domain extension?

Some countries have extensions in local scripts alongside the Latin one. For example, Russia has .ru and .рф, and India has .in plus more than a dozen extensions in its regional languages. The United Kingdom has both .uk and .gb, but .gb is reserved.

Are .io, .ai, .co, .tv, and .me country domains?

Yes. .io belongs to the British Indian Ocean Territory, .ai to Anguilla, .co to Colombia, .tv to Tuvalu, and .me to Montenegro. Companies worldwide register them because the letters suit their brand, but each one is still run under its own registry's rules.

Do you have to live in a country to register its domain?

It depends on the registry. Some country-code domains are open to anyone, while others ask for a local presence or connection, such as .ca for Canada, .au for Australia, and .us for the United States. Check the registry's rules before you register.

Why is a country code marked as not assigned?

A country or territory can have a two-letter code without an active domain extension. Western Sahara (.eh), Saint Barthélemy (.bl), Saint Martin (.mf), Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (.bq), and the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (.um) are all in this group. Kosovo has no country-code extension in the root zone.

How are countries assigned to continents?

Each country or territory appears once, by geography. Transcontinental countries follow common usage: Russia is under Europe, Türkiye, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan are under Asia, and Egypt is under Africa. Territories are listed where they are located, so Greenland is in North America and Réunion is in Africa. This grouping is only for easier browsing and isn't a political statement.

How can I download all domains for a country?

Open the country's extension to preview its domains and download options, or browse all country-code domain lists. Full downloads require a paid plan.
