Country Codes

The ccTLDs turned in yet another strong week led by seven solid five-figure sales, including W.to at $53,000 via Sedo, a sale that rank's among the 10 biggest country code transactions reported year to date. We noted all of the five-figure sales in the all extension section above, so the biggest sale you haven't yet seen in this category is #8 on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart - GiftCardExchange.ca at $6,700 through the AfternicDLS. 

Sedo swept 21 of the 23 chart entries (the extra spots resulted from a four-way tie for the final opening) including the two  that rounded out the top ten; CosmeticDentist.org.uk and ShopIt.co.uk, a pair of names that tied for #9 at $6,360 each.

Germany's .de won the extension race with six chart entries. Great Britain's .uk and Italy's .it were next with three each. .TV (Tuvalu) and .es (Spain) each had two with six other countries each claiming one spot.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, May 13:
