.ch is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Switzerland in the Domain Name System of the Internet.
== Naming == The domain ch, as with other ccTLDs, is based on the ISO 3166-2 code for Switzerland derived from Confoederatio Helvetica (Helvetic Confederation), the Latin name for the country, which was used because of its neutrality with regard to the four official languages of Switzerland.
