What is a country code top level domain (ccTLD)
A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a domain name used to make a website specifically for the users of a country or region. The domain name has two letters that differentiate each country from the other.
For example, websites like the ones below tend to have more reach in a particular geographical territory rather than in other regions. Most customers find the price and reviews more valuable when they purchase. In a country like India, people are more likely to find any one Indian’s review of the product. The same goes for the price: Locals are more familiar with local currencies than foreign ones.

- https://www.amazon.es/
These three are different websites of Amazon, which are made explicitly for the UK, India and Spain. When you visit them, you will get to know that the languages, prices and so on are very created with a local touch. The users would finally feel comfortable to address any issues they may encounter.
ccTLD codes in the above examples are “.uk”, “.in”, and “.es”.
