Template:Short description Template:More references Template:Infobox Top level domain.cd is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was created in 1997 as a replacement for the .zr (Zaire) ccTLD, which was phased out and eventually deleted in 2001.
Except for reserved names like .com.cd, .net.cd, .org.cd, and others, any person in the world can register a .cd domain for a fee.
Until 2011, the registry was managed by nic.cd. It was then delegated to the Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (SCPT).[1]
.zr
.zr is the former Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Zaire. It was designated in 1996. When Zaire was renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1997, .zr was phased out and .cd took its place. In 2001, .zr was deleted.[2]
