A '''country code second-level ___domain''' is a [[second-level ___domain]] to a [[country code top-level ___domain]].{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} Such a ___domain may be reserved by a [[___domain name registry]] for the registration of third-level domains, or assigned to a third party as a [[subdomain]].

Many country code ___domain registries implement ___domain name classes at the second level underneath their ccTLD, such as are present in the original generic [[top-level ___domain]]s <tt>{{mono|com</tt>}}, <tt>{{mono|net</tt>}}, and <tt>{{mono|org</tt>}}, which were intended for commercial entities, network operators, and non-profit organizations, respectively.

Many countries implement additional classes. For example, the [[United Kingdom]] ([[.uk|uk]]) uses <tt>{{mono|[[.co.uk|co.uk]]</tt>}} for commercial purposes and <tt>{{mono|[[.ac.uk|ac.uk]]</tt>}} for academic registrants. Brazil ([[.br|br]]) has a high number of restricted second-level domains, 67 as of 2011;<ref>[http://registro.br/info/dpn.html Registro.br] 4 February 2011</ref> they range from <tt>{{mono|com.br</tt>}} for commercial activities and <tt>{{mono|vet.br</tt>}} for veterinarians to <tt>{{mono|wiki.br</tt>}} for wikis.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://registro.br/info/dpn.html|title=Registro.br|author=|date=|publisher=|accessdate=5 October 2016}}</ref>
