International Top-Level Domain

This post is also available in: Melayu

Difference of ccTLD and gTLD

One of the most used top-level domain is gTLD which is generic top-level domain, but is not assigned to a specific country or doesn’t have any restrictions. It can be refer on the last part of the domain name such as “.com”, “.net”, “.org”, “.biz” and so on.

Meanwhile, ccTLD is called country code Top-Level Domain in which it will refer to the two letter of TLDs which represent the country according to their own country codes. For example, “.my” is for domain name Malaysia.

Which is Better?

It is all depends on the focus of your business as TLDs will actually be involving a lot with your SEO because each of ccTLD and gTLD have a specific target. For those who plan to market their business locally then they should be using a ccTLD. Meanwhile, those who market internationally would be suitable to choose a gTLD for their website.

Moreover, the advantage of using a ccTLD for your website is the geotargeting ability that sends the clear message to the search engines that the site is designed for a specific country or region.
