Countries Core Plugin

Countries analyses the PHPCounter files to find out which countries the visitors come from. It then displays the list, in descending order, in a table.

The way it does that is by finding the Top Level Domain, or TLD, of each visitors domain. Each country has a sepcific TLD, and thus PHPCounter is able to figure out which country the visitor comes from.

The TLDs that are not counted as countries (because they do not point to a particular country) are: .com, .net, .org, .info, and others. Please see the IANA links below for more information.

The TLDs .mil, .edu, and .gov are counted as USA domains.

The TLD to Country database is derived from the list found at the IANA ccTLD List. The generic TLD database is derived from the IANA gTLD List.
