Here are some delightfully funny or quirky country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) that just sound amusing:
| domain | Country | Why It’s Funny or Popular |
|---|---|---|
.tv | Tuvalu | Used for television sites and streaming platforms. Tiny island, big media presence. |
.me | Montenegro | Perfect for personal branding—“about.me”, “contact.me”, etc. |
.io | British Indian Ocean Territory | Beloved by tech startups for “input/output”. The territory has more domains than residents. |
.ai | Anguilla | Hot in the artificial intelligence world. AI companies love it. |
.to | Tonga | Used for phrases like “go.to” or “listen.to”. Makes URLs sound like commands. |
.fm | Federated States of Micronesia | Popular with radio stations and music apps. |
.cc | Cocos Islands | Generic and catchy—used for cycling clubs, churches, and more. |
.sh | Saint Helena | Used for shell scripts, streamers, or just because it sounds cool. |
.cat | Catalonia | Technically for Catalan sites, but cat lovers have tried to sneak in 🐱 |
.bz | Belize | Marketed as “business” (.biz alternative), but also sounds like “buzz”. |
.dj | Djibouti | Used by DJs and music producers. |
.su | Soviet Union | Still exists! Used ironically or nostalgically. |
