List of Country Code For Top Level Domain Extensions contains top-level domains by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is maintained at the Root Zone Database. IANA also oversees the approval process for new proposed top-level domains for ICANN. IANA is also responsible for the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources.

What are Top Level Domains (TLD)?
Every internet address, or domain, has a domain ending, also known as a top-level domain.
What are Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs)?
Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) are used to indicate the site’s relation to a specific country or region like:
.us - United States of America
.in - India
ru - Russia
.fi - Finland
Who regulates the allocation of all Country code top-level domains(ccTLDs)?
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is the company that regulates the allocation of all ccTLDs. But NIC (Network Information Center, also known as the Domain Name Registry) is the body responsible for the management and registration of all regional domain extensions in a country.
What are the characteristics of Country code top-level domains(ccTLDs)?
The top 3 characteristics of Country code top-level domains(ccTLDs) are:
- Indicate the region or language that the website’s content is relevant for.
- ccTLDs always include 2 letters of the Latin alphabet with the only exception for the countries with IDN-ccTLDs (internationalized country code top-level domains)
- The countries have one or more variants of the same ccTLD in a language that doesn’t use the Latin alphabet.
