| ccTLD FAQ | |
What is a ccTLD?
A ccTLD is a Country Code Top-Level Domain. Each ccTLD belongs to a particular recognized country, and each country gets to decide how the Registry for domains within that ccTLD should be run. Some countries run their registries themselves; others delegate this job to ISPs or other networking companies.
What is a registry restriction?
A registry restriction is the criteria that a registrant must fulfill before they are authorized to purchase a ccTLD.
What is a NIC?
A NIC is a Network Information Center, which is the Registration Authority per ccTLD. Most ccTLDs have their own NIC.
