.CO – The short and universally recognised domain.
This domain is so generic that it’s understood worldwide. Other generic domains include .COM and .ORG – But .CO is shorter, which looks better on mobile phones. It’s the acronym for “company”, and is also a ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain) for Columbia but you don’t have to be located there to register it. You may have also seen this domain as part of other country codes such as .CO.UK.
Top 5 reasons to register .CO:
- Although it’s a ccTLD, registration is open to anyone anywhere
- It’s an old domain so everyone has heard of it
- It applies to all industries
- It separates your website from competitors
- It’s memorable and aids in recall
Since .CO is a ccTLD (but without the restrictions), you can protect your domain with Registry Lock. This sets specific status codes on your domain name to prevent unwarranted changes, deletions, or transfers. As you can register a .CO domain and connect it to your professional emails and website, the lock protects your business assets from fraud. It connects your marketing efforts with the area you’re targeting, while not having to worry about your security being infringed. We’ve got lots more details on this over on our website, so have a read and protect your business as soon as you can,
Have a look at snoopslimes.co, 3v.co, and mathspace.co for inspiration, and see how these businesses used their .CO domain to their advantage.
