Compliation of Domain Suffixes
Posted by Kyle Eslick on March 20th, 2008 | Category and Tags
Even to a veteran domainer it can sometimes be difficult to know exactly how many country-code top level domains (ccTLD’s) there are out there.
If you are a new domainer and are looking at investing in ccTLD’s, there are some things you need to look into. Here are two things I look at before investing in a ccTLD:
- How well has the country adopted their country code? - There are a few ccTLD’s that have really gone over well with their country, while many others no one really uses. For example, a lot of people invested in China’s country code when it was released and it didn’t take very well there. India is one that seems to be doing well.
- How much does this ccTLD cost to register/renew? I’ve read about some costing as much as $500.00 a year to register/renew, so you’ll want to factor this into your decision on whether to invest or not.
I’ve also thrown together a list of domain suffixes for your reference and the country they are associated with. More ccTLD are becoming available every year (.me due out soon), so I will do my best to keep this list updated:
