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:

1. 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.
2. 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:

Just a quick post to say that if you prefer to use Microsoft Excel to manage your domain portfolio, I ran across a pretty good one over at Namepros.    You can find it here.

According to the author, this spreadsheet entitles you to the following benefits:
