How many ccTLDs (country code TLDs) are there currently?

SEO

There are more than 300 country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) in existence. These ccTLDs represent specific countries, territories, or geographic regions around the world and are assigned based on the two-letter country code specified in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard.

Each ccTLD corresponds to a specific country or territory and is managed by a designated registry organization or authority within that country or territory. The policies, requirements, and registration procedures for ccTLDs may vary depending on the rules established by the respective registry or authority.

Some ccTLDs are widely recognized and used globally, while others may have restrictions on registration or eligibility criteria based on local regulations or policies. Additionally, some countries have established second-level domains (SLDs) within their ccTLDs to further categorize and organize domain names based on specific criteria or purposes.

Examples of ccTLDs include:

- .us (United States)
- .uk (United Kingdom)
- .de (Germany)
- .fr (France)
- .jp (Japan)
- .cn (China)
- .br (Brazil)
- .au (Australia)
- .ca (Canada)
- .in (India)
- .mx (Mexico)
- .ru (Russia)
- .za (South Africa)
- .ae (United Arab Emirates)
- .nz (New Zealand)

These are just a few examples, and there are many more ccTLDs representing countries, territories, and regions around the world. The number of ccTLDs continues to grow as new countries and territories are assigned ccTLDs or existing ccTLDs are established or reorganized to meet the evolving needs of the internet community.
