(in millions)
A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a top-level domain referring to a country, a sovereign state, or a territory which is given a country code. All two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs, and all ccTLD identifiers consist of two letters. .tk is the ccTLD for Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand that has a population of approximately 1,400. The tremendous popularity of .tk is due to the fact that there are no residency requirements to register a .tk domain name, and .tk domain names are offered for free (for the first year) with minimal restrictions.
