ccTLD Pricing Variations

[[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.
