.cd is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country in Africa. Except for reserved names like .com.cd, .net.cd, .org.cd and others, any person in the world can register a .cd domain for a fee, much of the income from which goes to the government and people of the country. The domain name is popular (and thus economically valuable) due to it being mnemonic for the CD, or compact disc (other similar ccTLDs are .fm, .am, and .tv).
