ccTLD - Country code top level domain

There are over 243 country code top level domains (ccTLDs). Most ccTLDs correspond to the two-letter ISO 3166-1 country codes, but there are several differences. Each country appoints managers for its ccTLD and sets the rules for allocating domains. Some countries allow anyone in the world to acquire a domain in their ccTLD, for example Austria (at) and Cocos (Keeling) Islands (cc). Other countries or dependent territories allow only citizens to acquire a domain in their ccTLD, for example Canada (ca).
