Country Code Top-Level Domains

Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) are internet suffixes that specify a website's association with a particular country or territory, such as ".uk" for the United Kingdom or ".ca" for Canada. They are part of the domain name system (DNS) that helps identify and categorize websites worldwide. Users often recognize ccTLDs as indicators of the website’s geographic origin or target audience. Managed by national organizations or authorities, ccTLDs facilitate local business, cultural identity, and regional online presence, providing a recognizable digital marker of a website's geographic connection.
