Country Codes

Strong outings have become old hat for ccTLDS. The country codes had another one this past week with nine solid five-figure sales reported. Those names, which you saw the all extension section above, fill the first nine slots on our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The highest sale from this category that you haven't seen yet is #10 Parijs.be (Belgian ccTLD) at $9,786 via Sedo. They also kicked off the second ten with another Belgian domain; #11 Ooostenrijk.be at $8,580.

Sedo went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries, including everything on the second half of the leader board, lincluding #12 RealEstate.me at $8,050.  

The race among extensions was unusually close this week with five different TLDs sharing the lead with three chart entries each. Those were .tv (Tuvalu), .de (Germany), .nl (Netherlands), .be (Belgium) and .me (Montenegro). Great Britain's .co.uk and Australia's .com.au each had two while .to (Tonga) had one. 

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Feb. 19:

There were several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those with a roster than included Ferie.it ($5,808), Yoga.me ($5,650) and three others at $5,280 each; Loving.it, Netwerkgroep.nl and Schloss-am-meer.de. PVC-Banner.de added another $5,016. 

Sedo had 70 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 that are listed in the table below:
