I know ccTLDs aren't everybody's cup of tea, but I've seen a couple of available ones that I quite like. When the ccTLD's use is described as 'unrestricted' does it mean just that? ie. you can use them in any country (worldwide) for any reason, or kind of website?
Thanks

Who describes it as "unrestricted". Godaddy?

Can you say which country?

usually this means everyone can register it regardless where they live.

That's what I thought. The name I'm thinking of would be brandable using the extension, and not really specific to the country of the registrar. As a beginner, I just wondered if there are any restrictions I might have to look out for when buying a country name to sell for a global market?

From a google search:

There are no restrictions on .IN registrations
Registration for these domain names is open to anyone, similar to .COM, .NET, or .ORG.

When a ccTLD is unrestricted in terms of who can register it, you still need to pay attention to their term of service. Some countries don't allow certain activities (ex. adult/porn) yet they may allow registration of domains that can be used for porn. You will lose such domain if you develop it into an adult site. I'm not sure about the .in but I've seen that in a few ccTLDs.

Thanks @JoeE, yes, there are different standards in different countries, and they could pull a domain that they're not happy with the use of. I think that's what I was getting at - things to be aware of.
