Examples are:

[edit] ccTLDs

Country Code TLDs are TLDs that are given to a particular country. That country will decide how they control the TLD and may restrict the domain or leave it open for all to register. Some popular ccTLDs are:


[edit] Unrestricted

An unrestricted TLD is open to pretty much everyone and everything (within reason!)

Some popular ccTLDs that aren't restricted:

  • .co.uk
  • .je
  • .gg
  • .im
  • .it - contract needs to be signed. Date of birth and social security number required
  • .es (Spain)
  • .be (Belgium)
  • .co.za (South Africa)

[edit] Restricted

Some ccTLDs have very specific rules. In order to register a domain name you need to follow the rules carefully

  • .ie
  • .eu - needs an address in the European Union
  • .fr
  • .de
  • .nl
  • .cn

[edit] Domain Disputes

Each domain registry chooses how to manage disputes.

Blacknight cannot and will not be involved with disputes between 3rd parties
