Known as the two-letter country-code domain extension for the Netherlands, the .nl domain extension is indicating a connection to the country and its local audience and signals to possible website visitors that the content is very likely relevant to the Dutch market.

In general, ccTLDs tend to be more popular in Europe than in other regions. It is also a popular choice for many websites in the Netherlands because registering a .nl domain can increase local internet users' trust.
