Country domain name registration: What you need to know?

In today's globalized business landscape, companies are actively strategizing to expand their markets to countries worldwide. With the Internet's immense reach and influence, establishing a solid online presence becomes essential in capturing customer attention and establishing a market presence.

A crucial initial step is building an internationally compliant website and securing a national domain name in the location of the company's head office or representative office.

This article provides valuable insights, covering domain name registration methods, management guidelines, and global regulations about prominent national domain names. Additionally, we show how we can help you register your domain and support domain authentication within the host country.

1. Overview of a country domain name for your website

1.1. What is the Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs)? 

Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) are specialized top-level domain names reserved for specific countries or territories on the Internet. Each ccTLD consists of two characters and all 2-character top-level domains represent country domains. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages and administers these national domain names.

These country-specific domain extensions indicate the region or language relevance of a website's content. Typically, ccTLDs consist of two letters from the Latin alphabet. However, certain countries have Internationalized Country Code Top-Level Domains (IDN-ccTLDs) that include characters outside the Latin alphabet. For instance, Sri Lanka utilizes ccTLDs like .lk, .ලංකා (Sinhalese), and .இலங்கை (Tamil) to represent the country in different languages.

1.2. What are Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)? 

On the other hand, Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) are first-level names that are universally recognized by countries and territories worldwide. These domain names are administered by the International Organization of Domain Name Management, ICANN (http://www.icann.org/).

3. What benefits can you get when registering a country domain name for your company's website? 

By using the country domain code, you can earn various benefits: (.sg, com. sg, .co.th, .au, .cn, .uk, .eu, .fr, .in, .it, .mx, .ru, .ae, ph, ...):

• Easily identify the country affiliation of the business, affirming credibility and enhancing brand recognition;
• Gain a clear legal basis for trademark protection within the registered country, boosting prestige among international customers;
• Get the best support for businesses in the country where the company or representative office is located;
• Expand customer reach and engage a broader audience;
• Introduce and strengthen the company's brand, attracting potential partners and customers.

For example:

• A Singapore company with the Singapore country-code domain name will help to assert the quality of products of that Singapore enterprise in the world market, thereby creating more preferable conditions for potential partners and a large sum of customers to know about the corporation.
• Similar advantages are provided for corporations and companies from countries like Australia, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Russia, France, etc. if they register country code domains for their websites.
