    About .country domain

    .country is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. (TLDH) in partnership with Uniregistry. It was delegated to the Root Zone in March 2014 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The registry agreement was signed with ICANN in December 2013, and the extension is managed as a commercial domain product.

    Who can register .country domain

    Registration for .country domains is open to the general public with no geographic or organizational restrictions. Any individual, business, or entity can register a .country domain name through an accredited registrar. There are no specific verification or documentation requirements for eligibility. The TLD operates under an open registration policy.

    How to register .country domain

    1. Search for your desired .country domain name using a registrar's search tool to check its availability. Consider registering multiple variations or securing common misspellings to protect your brand.
    2. Compare pricing, renewal rates, and bundled services like WHOIS privacy or email hosting from different ICANN-accredited registrars that offer the .country extension.
    3. Complete the checkout process, providing accurate registrant contact information and selecting your desired registration term, which is typically one year or more.
    4. After purchase, verify your contact email to activate the domain and configure your DNS settings, such as nameservers, to point the domain to your website or service.

    Typical uses of .country domain

    The .country extension is commonly used by entities wishing to express a strong national identity, local pride, or cultural affiliation. It is popular among tourism boards, local businesses, community groups, and artists who want to highlight their connection to a specific nation or region. The TLD offers a memorable and thematic alternative to geographic ccTLDs or generic extensions like .com, allowing registrants to make a clear statement about their origin or focus.

    Tips for registering .country domain

    • Domains are typically registered for a minimum of one year, with options to register for multiple years upfront.
    • WHOIS privacy protection services are generally available for .country domains through most registrars, helping to shield personal contact details from public view.
    • Be aware of potential premium domain pricing; certain desirable or dictionary-word .country names may be held by the registry at a higher cost.
    • Standard transfer policies apply, but domains may be subject to a 60-day transfer lock following registration or a previous transfer.

    Who can register a .country domain?

    Registration is unrestricted and available globally. There is no requirement to prove citizenship, residency, or any affiliation with a particular nation to register a .country domain. Both individuals and organizations can register, making it a versatile choice for personal projects, commercial ventures, or community initiatives.

    Can I transfer a .country domain between registrars?

    Transferring a .country domain between registrars follows the standard ICANN transfer policy. You will need to obtain an authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar and ensure the domain is unlocked and not within a 60-day transfer lock period. The process usually takes 5-7 days to complete after initiation.

    Are there any content restrictions for .country websites?

    The registry has not published specific content policies that differ from standard gTLD rules. Websites under .country must comply with applicable laws and ICANN consensus policies, but there are no unique content mandates related to national themes or geographic accuracy tied to the domain name itself.

    How are trademark disputes handled for .country domains?

    The .country registry adheres to ICANN's mandatory Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). Trademark holders can file a UDRP complaint if they believe a .country domain was registered and is being used in bad faith. The registry also likely participated in sunrise and trademark claims periods during its launch to protect intellectual property.

    What happens if I forget to renew my .country domain?

    Standard renewal grace periods apply. After expiration, there is typically a 30-day auto-renew grace period where you can renew at the standard rate. Following that, the domain may enter a redemption grace period for an additional 30 days, where recovery is possible for an additional fee, before being released for general registration again.
