Where to Register Global Country Domain Names
May 17th, 2008 by hbondI had a challanging request from one of my favourite clients reciently that proved to be nice fodder for our internet marketing blog. The client is growing and their product is beginning to develop a world-wide following. As such, they wanted us to research and develop a list of potential global domain names that they could register – For example companyabc.com, companyabc.eu, companyabc.tf… “Where in the World is Camen Sandiego is .TF?” .TF would be the country extention for the French Southern Territories in cozy Antarctica (for those wondering… Economic Activity – The territory’s natural resources are limited to fish and crustaceans; economic activity is limited to servicing meteorological and geophysical research stations and French and other fishing fleets. – special thanks to Wikipedia for that one.)
But I digress…
I couldn’t find a tool that would allow me to enter the desired domain name (companyabc) and check the various global extentions… so I decided to create the next best thing. First, I found this alphabetical domain list. I then decided it would be more valuable to me if the domains were organized by continant. This particluar client is experiencing most of its growth in Europe, and some countries in Asia thus, the first domains I checked were there.
The lists can be sorted by COUNTRY NAME or COUNTRY DOMAIN to help you find anything specific you are looking for. Each country name (with some exceptions) has links to the country registrar or a site where you can register a domain name in that particular country.
In addition to the continential organization, there is also a list of “specialty” domain listing, which include the popular .com, .net, .mobi and .aero (yep, for those aviation websites you have been looking for).

For most of the European countries, I’d suggest to buy at a wholesale registrar like EuroDNS.com.
Prices thre are much lower than the end-user fees at the country NICs, and they usually cover a bunch of country-specific TLDs.
A comprehensive and VERY useful list. I often come across domians that I’m unfamiliar with, I’ve bookmarked this for quick reference next time!
Nice list of Global country domain names. I have actually noted that they are much more expensive. Some costs 40 euros per year. That is i guess too much, i prefer using the .com domains because i target worldwide users.
You spent a lot of time creating this resource, thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. The web is so world wide and growing more and more every day.
These resources i recon as the user above me said that it must have cost you time to get. But in my opinion a .com domain is much more important if you want to be visible in search pages.
Thanxx for this lovely resource. But i would like to suggest you to use domain name realted to your country, it is more specific and targetted and people tend to think that it is good and unique and secure and famous
domain .com is better in my opinion! have you ever seen a domain related to country on the first page of google?? take note of this!! .com is better followed by .net
Just a quick tip: for Romania is here: http://www.rotld.ro/
maybe u can update the list
.com ones look good as most of the people are looking for it. and it can be easily be resold for a better value.
Thaks for this post.nice!!

Global domains may be registered by anyone as long as the name has not already been taken. Registering under one of the 191 country-specific domain names is bound by each country’s registration requirements. Some country codes are restricted and anyone who wishes to register under that domain must meet strict regulatory, tax, trademark, and residency requirements. Other country-codes are wide open to anyone who wishes to register, as long as they pay the fee, most notable are .to, .cc, and .tv.
Wow – thanks for taking the time to put all of this together.
