A '''Country Code Top-Level Domain''' ('''ccTLD''') is a two-letter Internet top-level domains ([[TLD]]s) specifically designated for a particular country, sovereign state or autonomous territory for use to service their community. ccTLDs are derived from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 ISO 3166-1 alpha-2] country codes.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/cctlds/ ICANN ccTLDs]</ref> | A '''Country Code Top-Level Domain''' ('''ccTLD''') is a two-letter Internet top-level domains ([[TLD]]s) specifically designated for a particular country, sovereign state or autonomous territory for use to service their community. ccTLDs are derived from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 ISO 3166-1 alpha-2] country codes.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/cctlds/ ICANN ccTLDs]</ref> | ||

==Generic ccTLD== | |||
A gccTLD is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) that is considered generic due to its branding and usage. That's what gccTLD stands for, generic country code top-level domain. gccTLDs are seen by search engines such as Google as generic instead of country-targeted for search.<ref>[https://www.dynadot.com/community/help/question/what-is-gcctld What is a gccTLD?]</ref> According to Google, "website owners frequently see these more generic than country-targeted", which led them to present them as generic.<ref>[https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/managing-multi-regional-sites?visit_id=638700086735724771-231066323&rd=1 Google Search Central: Managing multi-regional and multilingual sites]</ref> Examples include ".co", which is used by many as an alternative to "[[.com]]" representing commercial, ".io", adopted by tech companies and ".ly", as a domain hack. | |||
