ccTLD

A ccTLD, or country code top-level domain, is an internet address suffix that identifies a website as belonging to a specific country or territory. It consists of two letters, like ".uk" for the United Kingdom or ".jp" for Japan. These domains help users recognize the geographic origin of a site and can also indicate the site’s primary audience or purpose related to that country. ccTLDs are managed by organizations within each country, ensuring that the domain aligns with local rules and branding. They are an important part of the domain name system, connecting websites to their national identity.
