Barklund.org

When creating different online services, it can often be nice to have a good short domain name. And domain name hacks like del.icio.us (which though changed their primary name to delicious.com) might be a bit 2007-ish, but can still be used for a lot of services.

For this use, I was missing a good list of ccTLD‘s, that are available for direct second-level registration without local presence. Some countries don’t allow direct second-level registration like .uk (United Kingdom) or .tr (Turkey). All of the below-mentioned domain names are available for direct second-level registration and do not require local administrative contacts, trade licenses or similar restrictions. Most of them can be purchased online, but some require paper forms sent back and forth and might take some time to register.

Table not yet complete…

Notes:

• ^* 2 years minimum registration – listed priced here is half that
• ^** Price is based on the cheapest available hosting plan – not domain only
