What are country code top-level domains?

A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a top-level domain name that is used to define the domain for a particular country or a geographical area. Every country has a domain name reserved for it; this is generally denoted by a ccTLD, which is generally two letters long.


Every country, geographical area, sovereign state or a dependent territory has its own two-letter code that defines its country code top-level domain.


Some of the most common ccTLDs are:

  • .us for the United States
  • .cn for China
  • .ca for Canada
  • .uk for the United Kingdom
  • .in for India
  • .au for Australia
