What are ccTLDs: A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a two-letter suffix at the end of a domain name that indicates the country or region where a website is based.
How are ccTLDs used?
Identify location: ccTLDs help users and search engines determine where a website is located.
Personalize content: ccTLDs can help make content available in different languages and countries.
Increase trust: ccTLDs can help increase customer confidence and trustworthiness.
Make content relevant: Search engines may assume that sites with ccTLDs are relevant to the geography that the ccTLD references.
ccTLD information Resources
Here are some Resources to help gather more information for different ccTLDs:
- CentralNic
- WIPO Search (WHOIS for ccTLDs)
- Another good source of knowledge of domain names is Wikipedia’s page for each TLD. Just replace the TLD in URL tab, such as /wiki/.tld
