Coverage and methodology for .COUNTRY data

The downloadable file contains domain names from available sources, one per line in gzip-compressed plain text. It is a domain list, not a raw DNS zone file containing resource records, a WHOIS export, or a verified list of active websites.

Complete zone-file coverage. The .COUNTRY domain list covers every domain name present in the complete zone-file snapshot. Registered domains absent from the zone file are not included, and presence in the zone does not confirm a working website.

Additions and removals describe observed changes between dataset observations, not confirmed registrations or expirations; source changes and gaps can also affect counts. The coverage label describes the current dataset and does not establish comparable coverage across historical snapshots. Verify registration status separately before outreach, security decisions, or domain purchases.

The daily update target is 9 AM UTC. Use each file's snapshot date when scheduling imports or comparing archives; delivery can be affected by source delays. Historical availability varies by zone and date.

For reproducible analysis, record the zone, snapshot date, downloaded filename, and filtering rules. Usage is subject to our dataset license; enterprise and redistribution licensing is available separately.
