A top-level domain (TLD) is the last segment of a domain name that appears after the final dot, such as .com, .org, or .net. These domain extensions play a crucial role in organizing the internet and identifying website purposes.

Available Country Code TLDs (ccTLDs):

  • Australia: .au, .com.au
  • Canada: .ca
  • Cocos Islands: .cc
  • European Union: .eu
  • France: .fr
  • Germany: .de
  • India: .in, .co.in
  • Italy: .it
  • Japan: .jp
  • Mexico: .mx, .com.mx
  • New Zealand: .nz, .co.nz
  • Palau: .pw
  • Poland: .pl
  • Netherlands: .nl
  • United Kingdom: .uk, .org.uk
  • United States: .us

Important Registration Information:

  • Registration periods vary by TLD type
  • Domains auto-renew annually after initial registration
  • Prices may be subject to state and local sales taxes
  • Renewal fees apply at the end of each registration period

Domain Management Tips:

  1. Check domain availability and pricing before purchase
  2. Review specific requirements for each ccTLD
  3. Verify registration period and renewal terms
  4. Consider tax implications for your region
  5. Ensure compliance with ccTLD-specific regulations

For unavailable TLDs, you can register through third-party providers and connect them to your website.

Remember to verify eligibility requirements and restrictions for specific ccTLDs, as they may have unique registration criteria based on geographic location or business presence.
