.COUNTRY is an open generic top-level domain operated by Internet Naming Co., not the country-code domain of any nation. Its value comes from the English word “country”: country music, rural life, agriculture, heritage, tourism, regions, and place-oriented storytelling. NiceNIC helps you search, register, renew, transfer, manage DNS, compare names in bulk, and connect supported reseller workflows.
Add funds and pay for domain services using supported crypto options such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and LTC. Automated crypto deposit recording helps account balances update quickly after successful confirmation, with no extra NiceNIC processing fee for automated deposits.
NiceNIC provides real human support, not only scripted replies. Our team can review your domain needs, explain practical options, and give account-level, transfer, bulk registration, and reseller suggestions to help your domain business grow.
NiceNIC does not take arbitrary action against domains. Abuse reports are reviewed based on available evidence, policies, and registry requirements, with domain owners guided to review, fix, or explain reported issues where appropriate.
Manage .COUNTRY together with 2,500+ domain extensions from one NiceNIC account, including country-code, generic, and new domain extensions. This helps businesses, investors, and resellers build global domain coverage more efficiently.
NiceNIC supports 47+ website languages, creating a multilingual registrar experience for international users and teams. This makes domain registration, renewal, transfer, account management, and support easier across different markets.
For hosting providers, agencies, platforms, and domain resellers, NiceNIC supports reseller API access for domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, account-level pricing, and custom nameserver services.
A September 1, 2026 active-domain snapshot tracks 3,142 active .COUNTRY domains. The registry is operated by Internet Naming Co.

Active-domain snapshot dated September 1, 2026.
There is no general registrant eligibility restriction for .COUNTRY.
IANA lists Internet Naming Co. as the current sponsoring organization.
The target TLD is a small part of the new-gTLD market. The .COUNTRY slice is enlarged so it remains visible beside global TLD categories; the labeled count is the figure buyers should use for scale.
The best reason to register this suffix is a real match between the namespace rules, the audience you serve, and the identity you want the domain to communicate.
.COUNTRY has no general registrant eligibility restriction, so individuals, companies, creators, organizations, and agencies can register available names without a country-residency requirement.
The English word “country” works naturally for country music, rural lifestyle, agriculture, ranch and farm culture, tourism, heritage, regional media, and place-focused projects.
.COUNTRY supports registrar transfers using an authorization code and supports several IDN language tables, giving global owners familiar gTLD management options for eligible names.
This same-source comparison places .COUNTRY beside other descriptive gTLDs used by music, rural, tourism, and event brands. It is market context, not a claim that these extensions serve identical audiences.
A public .COUNTRY sale provides some aftermarket context, but a single disclosed transaction is not a price guide. Buyers should still prioritize clarity, brand fit, renewal economics, and a name they can use for the long term.
Start with the meaning you want customers to understand. A good .COUNTRY domain should read naturally, be easy to say, and make sense even before someone opens the website.
Use .COUNTRY for an artist, label, venue, festival, radio project, fan community, or campaign where the music genre is immediately relevant.
Pair a clear name with .COUNTRY for farm, ranch, rural retail, outdoor, food, craft, or countryside lifestyle positioning.
Use .COUNTRY for travel storytelling, regional culture, heritage projects, destination content, or editorial sites where “country” is part of the concept.
Compare multiple short combinations, verify renewal cost, and manage supported registrations and transfers through NiceNIC tools.
If you already own .COUNTRY domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.
Paste multiple .COUNTRY names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.
Enter one name per line, with or without .COUNTRY. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.
If your business sells hosting, websites, SaaS, agency services, or brand protection packages, NiceNIC reseller APIs can support domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, and account management.

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm what .COUNTRY means, open eligibility, reserved country-name rules, transfer, renewal, IDNs, bulk search, or reseller/API support before continuing.
No. .COUNTRY is a generic top-level domain, not the ccTLD of any nation. It can be used for country music, rural lifestyle, agriculture, tourism, heritage, regional content, and other brands where the word “country” supports the idea.
There is no general registrant eligibility restriction for .COUNTRY. Individuals, businesses, creators, organizations, agencies, and other eligible customers worldwide can register an available name subject to registry and ICANN rules.
Not necessarily. New-gTLD registry agreements reserve many country and territory names at the second level unless the required government and ICANN release conditions have been met. Always check the exact name’s availability before building a campaign around it.
The suffix is strongest when it completes the idea: country music, rural living, farms and ranches, outdoor brands, heritage, travel, regional publishing, events, and place-oriented storytelling. Choose it because the word improves the brand, not simply because another extension is unavailable.
Yes. Current registry specifications list several supported IDN tables, including Cyrillic and French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish language tables. Actual availability depends on the exact label and registry rules.
Yes, subject to the domain’s transfer status. .COUNTRY uses an authorization code for registrar transfers, and transfer locks must be removed where applicable. Start from the NiceNIC domain transfer page to prepare the move.
.COUNTRY supports multi-year registration and renewal at the registry level. Before committing to a name, check the current NiceNIC registration and renewal price and treat recurring cost as part of the long-term brand decision.
Yes. Use NiceNIC bulk domain search to compare artist names, phrases, rural brands, travel ideas, or defensive registrations before selecting the strongest combination.
NiceNIC provides bulk domain tools and a domain reseller API for supported registration, renewal, transfer, and portfolio workflows.
Register a new .COUNTRY, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
