Country Codes

A quintet of five-figure sales set the pace for the ccTLDs this week. Those five, which you saw in teh all extension section above, fill the first five slots on our latest weekly Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The highest ccTLD sale that you haven't seen yet is #6 EnergieNet.nl, a Dutch domain that drew $9,675 at Sedo.  

Sedo went on sweep 19 of the 20 chart entries including #7 Wood.co at $7,000 and #8 TravertineTiles.co.uk at $5,581.  

The TLD race ended in a three way tie. Great Britain's .co.uk, the Netherlands' .nl and Germany's .de each placed three names on the leader board. China's .cn was the only other extension with multiple chart entries with that TLD scoring twice. Nine other countries divided the nine remaining slots.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Oct. 21:

There were several dozen more four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all but three of those with a roster led by Tuinbank.nl at $3,032. Street.in added $2,838 and Design.cc downloaded $2,720.
