ccTLD Can ccTLDs be bought from other countries please?

[Brian2011]

Hi all, not sure where this thread belongs?

I know there are restrictions on registering domain names in different countries but can a domain name be purchased by someone in one country for use in a different country even if they don't meet the country's registration requirements?

i.e. Jack from London buys a .US domain and wants to develop a website for it on a server in the UK or he just wants to flip the domain. He is not US nexus compliant.

Thanks in advance!

Many TLDs are unrestricted nowadays, but if you want to own a .us, even for a short time (flipping) you must be nexus-compliant, as simple as that.
