[[cctld|ccTLD]] pricing varies significantly from country to country because each national registry independently sets its wholesale fees and eligibility rules. Some ccTLDs (like .de, .uk, .ca) are priced comparably to [[gtld|gTLDs]], while others (like .io, .ai, .ly) carry premium rates due to tech-industry demand. Additionally, some ccTLDs require local presence, trustee services, or administrative contacts that add costs. Pricing is also affected by whether the registry has authorized global distribution.
Example
.ai (Anguilla) costs $60–90/year at most registrars versus $10–15 for .com, because Anguilla's registry sets a higher wholesale price and demand from AI companies is high.
