Four New ccTLDs Are Here: Expand Your Reach With Local Trust

WPMU DEV News

When it comes to choosing the right domain, sometimes global reach isn’t enough, you need the credibility that comes with being local.

We’re excited to announce the release of four new country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), making it easier to build trust and connect with audiences in specific regions.

These extensions are tailored for businesses and brands looking to strengthen their presence in key regions:

  • .com.au – The go-to choice for Australian businesses wanting to show customers they’re local and established.
  • .us – The official domain of the United States, ideal for companies, creators, and organizations targeting American audiences.
  • .net.au – Best suited for ISPs, network providers, and tech services operating within Australia.
  • .nl – One of the most trusted domain extensions in Europe, widely recognized and respected in the Netherlands.

With these additions (and with more ccTLDs coming your way!) you can register domains that resonate directly with local customers, improve recognition in specific markets, and build instant trust where it matters most.

Beyond country borders: 267+ domain extensions already available

Of course, the story doesn’t end there. Alongside the new ccTLDs, you can already choose from 267+ other domain extensions through WPMU DEV. From established options like .com, .org, and .net to more creative picks like .shop, .design, or .blog, the variety gives you freedom to match your domain to your brand, industry, or even your personality.

Whether you’re securing a professional address for client projects, launching a regional campaign, or experimenting with a unique brand identity, there’s an extension ready to fit the bill. And with everything managed from the Hub, keeping track of multiple domains has never been easier.

Transfers and smarter DNS control

If you already own a domain, the good news is that .us domains can be transferred to WPMU DEV right away. This means you can consolidate your registration, hosting, and management under one roof without juggling accounts. For now, transfers aren’t available for .com.au, .net.au, or .nl, but you can still bring those domains into the Hub using Connected Domains.

When you connect a domain from another registrar (like GoDaddy or Namecheap), Auto DNS steps in to take care of the rest. It scans your existing provider, imports the most common DNS records automatically, and gives you a clean interface to manage everything alongside your hosting, Pro Email, and site tools.

That way, even domains purchased elsewhere get the same streamlined management experience as those registered directly with us.

And if your domain is registered through WPMU DEV, DNS management is even more seamless. Auto DNS will pre-configure the necessary records for Pro Email and Hosting so you can skip the technical setup.

And if you need support, our team is available 24/7 to help with configuration or troubleshooting, so you’re never left on your own.

The bottom line

Whether you’re expanding into new regions with .com.au, .us, .net.au, or .nl, or exploring one of the 267+ other extensions, you’ll find a domain that fits your goals. Combined with the simplicity of Auto DNS, managing your online presence has never been this seamless.
