Most country-code top-level domains have various limitations that make their registration by foreign individuals or companies quite difficult or impossible. However, if you want to expand your online presence and try new local markets, there are some domains that you could register freely like .IN, .BE or .TV. The .IN domain got into use in 1989, but since 2005 it’s available for anyone to register. .IN is the ccTLD used for India, it is managed by the INRegistry.

.co is one of the Internet country code top-level domains (ccTLD) and is assigned to the country Colombia. It is regulated by .CO Internet S.A.S., a collaborative effort between Arcelandia S.A. (which has assets in many Internet-related companies) and Neustar, Inc (a world registrar offer managed DNS services for top-level domains). As of July 10, 2010, there is no signup condition for .co top-level domains; any person or company in the world can sign up a .co top-level domain. Many large companies like Twitter use .co top-level domains (e.g. t.co) for URL shortening purposes in social media.

The .JP extension is the Country Code Top Level Domain for Japan. The ccTLD was presented for registration in 1986 and as of 2012, there are more than 1 300 000 registered .JP domain names. The domain is very popular in Japan for commercial, non-profit, or personal websites. The .JP domains are often used to highlight the Japanese identity of the owner. That’s why if you want a stronger presence in the quickly developing Japanese technological market, you should consider buying a .JP domain. The .JP registration is usually done in Japanese.

The .cc domain name is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory. It is provided by VeriSign through its parent company eNIC, which tried to promote it for international use as “the next .com”. With its release by the IANA, .cc registration was assigned to the eNIC Corporation in 1997. Many entities use the .cc domain name, including the Republic of Cyprus. Also, many organizations that have a name of two parts both beginning with a “c” often use the .cc country code top-level domain. For example, some cycling clubs and Christian organizations use CC domains which happen to be an abbreviation for “Christian Church” or “Catholic Church.” Some software projects that are under the “Creative Commons” license, use a .cc for their websites because “CC” can stand for Creative Commons.

The .BE country code Top Level Domain was activated in 1989 and it was introduced as the official ccTLD for Belgium. The domain is managed and sponsored by the non-profit organization DNS Belgium. There are more than 1 million .BE domain names registered. Domain names with .BE ccTLDs are registered as Second Level Domain Names, but some academic institutions in Belgium register their names as Third Level Domains with the extension ac.be.

You could freely register not only the most generic Top-Level Domains but also some of the country-code TLDs. Although it coincides with the abbreviation for “television” the popular .TV Top Level Domain is actually a standard country-code TLD that was introduced to serve as a national domain for Tuvalu. The .TV domain was established in 1996 and sponsored by the government of Tuvalu. Now the Tuvalu government owns only 20% of the domain and it is currently managed by Verisign.

.CA Registration Requirements

For .CA registration are eligible for all Canadian-based businesses or organizations, Canadian citizens, but also trademarks that are registered in Canada by non-Canadian residents. CIRA is the non-profit Canadian organization that is responsible for the .CA domain name registry. Until 2010 CIRA allowed the registration of third-level domain names with .CA where the Second Level Domains are the provinces in the country (example: mysite.ab.ca for Alberta). This system proved inefficient and Third Level .CA domains can’t be currently registered.

.DE Registration Requirements

As stated above, the registration process for .DE country code top-level domain is not freely available to everyone. One must have an administrative contact resident in Germany. So, you’d better use a .DE Country Code Top Level Domain only if you want to be associated with some business activity. DE can also be registered as a Second-Level Domain name. Of course, as with all TLDs, you should first check if the domain is available. If you transfer the domain, it should be unlocked and you should provide an EPP Key to your new registrar. The first location of registration for .de domains was at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Dortmund. .de registrations can be directly placed with DENIC but it is easier and less expensive to do so via a DENIC member (registrar).
