The domain name system allows users to refer to websites and other Internet resources using names rather than the all-numeric IP addresses assigned to each computer on the Internet. Each domain name consists of a series of character strings separated by dots. The right-most string is its top-level domain (TLD), and every TLD is managed by a single [[registry]].

TLDs with two letters have been established for over 250 countries and external territories. These country-code TLDs are delegated to designated managers, who operate them according to local policies that are adapted to meet the economic, cultural, linguistic, and legal circumstances of the country or territory involved.
