A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country or a dependent territory. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks In Political geography and International politics, a country is a Political division of a geographical entity A dependent territory dependent area or dependency is a territory that does not possess full political Independence or Sovereignty as a

ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs. Creation and delegation of ccTLDs is performed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), and with certain exceptions noted below corresponds to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes maintained by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA is the entity that oversees global IP address allocation, DNS root zone management, media types ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are two-letter Country codes in the ISO 3166-1 standard to represent countries and dependent territories.

Delegation and management

The IANA (currently contracted to ICANN) is responsible for determining an appropriate trustee for each ccTLD. ICANN (aɪkæn eye-can is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Administration and control is then delegated to that entity, which is responsible for the policies and operation of the domain; the current delegation can be determined from IANA's list of ccTLDs. Individual ccTLDs may thus have varying requirements and fees for registering subdomains. In the Domain Name System (DNS hierarchy a subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain There may be a local presence requirement (for instance, citizenship or other connection to the ccTLD), as for example the Canadian (ca) and German (de) domains, or registration may be open.

ISO 3166-1 and ccTLDs

ISO 3166-1 codes not used as ccTLDs

The code EH, although theoretically available as ccTLDs for Western Sahara has never been assigned and does not exist in DNS. Western Sahara ( Arabic: الصحراء الغربية; transliterated: as-Ṣaḥrā' al-Gharbīyah; Sahara Occidental is a territory The Domain Name System (DNS is a hierarchical naming system for computers services or any resource participating in the Internet. Similarly, the code CS (Serbia and Montenegro) was never assigned an operator (cs was previously assigned to Czechoslovakia). The State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (Државна заједница Србија и Црна Гора / Državna zajednica Srbija i Crna Gora, abbreviated Czechoslovakia may also refer to what is now the Czech Republic and Slovakia. TL (post-independence East Timor), is now being introduced to replace TP. East Timor, also known as Timor-Leste (officially the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste) is a country in Southeast Asia.

All other current ISO 3166-1 codes have been assigned and do exist in DNS. However, some of these are effectively unused. In particular, the ccTLDs for the Norwegian dependency Bouvet Island (bv) and the designation Svalbard and Jan Mayen (sj) do exist in DNS, but no subdomains have been assigned, and it is Norid policy not to assign any at present. Bouvet Island (Bouvetøya also historically known as Liverpool Island or Lindsay Island) is an uninhabited Sub-antarctic volcanic Island This article is about the collective term "Svalbard and Jan Mayen" as defined by the ISO UNINETT Norid AS is the main keeper and administrator of the Norwegian country code Top-level domain.

The Territorial Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Collectivité territoriale de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon is a group of small islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, the

Only one subdomain is still registered in gb (ISO 3166-1 for United Kingdom) and no new registrations are being accepted for it. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located Sites in the UK generally use uk (see below).

ccTLDs not in ISO 3166-1

Six ccTLDs are currently in use despite not being ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes. Some of these codes were in older ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes (now listed in ISO 3166-3). ISO 3166-3 defines codes for outdated ISO 3166-1 Country codes and is part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization

• uk (United Kingdom): The ISO 3166-1 code for the United Kingdom is GB, however the JANET network had already selected uk as a top-level identifier for its pre-existing Name Registration Scheme, and this was incorporated into the top-level domains. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located JANET is a private British government-funded Computer network dedicated to education and research The JANET NRS (Name Registration Scheme was a pseudo-hierarchical naming scheme adopted for use on United Kingdom academic and research networks before the gb was assigned with the intention of a transition, but this never occurred and the use of uk is now entrenched.
• su (the obsolete ISO 3166 code for Soviet Union): Assigned when the Soviet Union was still extant and SU was its assigned ISO 3166 code. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 The su managers stated in 2001 they will commence accepting new su registrations, but it is unclear whether this action is compatible with ICANN policy. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. ICANN (aɪkæn eye-can is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
• ac (Ascension Island): This code is a vestige of IANA's decision in 1996 to allow the use of codes reserved in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 reserve list for use by the Universal Postal Union. Ascension Island is an island in the South Atlantic Ocean, around from the coast of Africa Iana is a commune in Vaslui County, Romania.

The Universal Postal Union ( UPU, French: Union postale universelle) is an International organization that coordinates postal policies among member The decision was later reversed, with Ascension Island now the sole outlier. (Three other ccTLDs, gg (Guernsey), im (Isle of Man) and je (Jersey) also fell under this category from 1996 until they received corresponding ISO 3166 codes in March 2006. The Bailiwick of Guernsey (Bailliage de Guernesey is a British Crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy.

• eu (European Union): On September 25, 2000, ICANN decided to allow the use of any two-letter code in the ISO 3166-1 reserve list that is reserved for all purposes.

Historical ccTLDs

There are two ccTLDs that have been deleted after the corresponding 2-letter code was withdrawn from ISO 3166-1: cs (for Czechoslovakia) and zr (for Zaire). Wikipedia talkFeatured lists for an explanation of this and other inclusion tags below --> ISO 3166-1, as part of the ISO 3166 standard Czechoslovakia may also refer to what is now the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Republic of Zaire (pronunciation; République du Zaïre was the name of the present Democratic Republic of the Congo between October 27, 1971 There had also been a ccTLD for the German Democratic Republic, dd, which was never used at all. The German Democratic Republic ( GDR; Deutsche Demokratische Republik DDR; commonly known in English as East Germany) was a Socialist state There may be a significant delay between withdrawal from ISO 3166-1 and deletion from the DNS; for example, ZR ceased to be an ISO 3166-1 code in 1997, but the zr ccTLD was not deleted until 2001. Other ccTLDs corresponding to obsolete ISO 3166-1 have not yet been deleted; in some cases they may never be deleted due to the amount of disruption this would cause for a heavily used ccTLD. In particular, the Soviet Union's ccTLD su remains in use more than a decade after SU was removed from ISO 3166-1.

Internationalized ccTLDs

There is a process to introduce Internationalized ccTLDs using non-Latin letters. Already a technical solution has been implemented that allows domain names (the level under the top level) to have non-Latin letters. They are called IDN (Internationalized domain names). An internationalized domain name (

Now also top-level domains will have such letters. The first one is likely to be .рф, for Russia. Russia (Россия Rossiya) or the Russian Federation ( Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental Country extending It will work during 2008. Chinese and Arabic top-level domains will follow. About 53 different country codes seem to be involved^[1]. There seems to be a hurry regarding this, since some countries threaten to introduce their own ccTLDs, without the support of ICANN, which would be supported inside their countries at least.

• Google Search on the issue
• Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), part of ICANN
• Discussion by GNSO about which IDN ccTLD to use for each country

Unconventional ccTLD usage

Lenient registration restrictions on certain ccTLDs have resulted in domain names like I. am, tip. it, start. at and go. to. Other variations of ccTLD usage have been called domain hacks, where the Second-level domain and ccTLD are used together to form one word or one title. A domain hack is an unconventional Domain name that combines domain levels especially the Top-level domain (TLD to spell out the full "name" or title In the Domain Name System (DNS hierarchy a second-level domain (SLD is a domain that is directly below a Top-level domain (TLD This has resulted in domains like blo.gs of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (gs), del.icio.us of United States of America (us), and cr.yp.to of Tonga (to). blogs is a service based on RSS feed aggregation primarily from Blogs, which produces a simple list (and also an RSS feed thereof of the user's bookmarked sites South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ( SGSSI) is a British overseas territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

A domain hack is an unconventional Domain name that combines domain levels especially the Top-level domain (TLD to spell out the full "name" or title )

Another form of hacks on ccTLDs results from speculation over typos. The . co domain of Colombia has generated interest ever since it was realized that people might miss typing the "m" for sites in the . Colombia (kəˈlʌmbɪə officially the Republic of Colombia () is a country in northwestern South America. com domain, or similarly reach the domain . cm for Cameroon due to a missed "o".
