tld

List of all internet top-level domains, with info on where in the world their operators are located.

Usage

• fetch.sh: Fetches the list of all TLDs and their whois info from IANA, and dumps it into raw/.
• parse.sh: Parses the TLD data from raw/ and groups it by some hardcoded rules.
• list.txt: Output of the last time I ran parse.sh.

Caveats

• My parsing is shady as fuck.
• A lot of TLDs are not open for registration at all (e.g. company TLDs), so if you're looking for a TLD to register under, you'll have to do additional manual filtering.
• Some TLDs would qualify for multiple groups (e.g. UK-owned but US-managed). The first group from the top takes precedence.
• Some countries are broken out due to geopolitical/digital sovereignty concerns, others purely due to volume.
• The hardcoded rules in parse.sh are arbitrary and make for a very EU-centric view. If you're from elsewhere in the world, you may want to edit the script and re-generate the list.
