Type: ccTLD

Description: A domain name using a ccTLD has a country code as its suffix instead of the typical .com, .net or .org extension. Each country has its own domain extension; Canada, for example, is .ca, while Japan has been assigned .jp. From a functional perspective, ccTLDs work just as well as any TLD. Therefore, more companies are choosing country-specific domains, as better names are typically available than when choosing a domain under the .com, .org or .net extensions.
