.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.[1]
Except for reserved names like .com.cd, .net.cd, .org.cd, and others, anyone in the world is allowed to register a .cd domain, regardless if they have registered a company or not.[2]
Until 2011, the registry was managed by nic.cd. It was then delegated to the Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (SCPT).[3]
