Concept T shirts Reviews

So what do you do? You are setting up a new online business in the United Kingdom - do you buy a dot com or a dot co dot uk?

Even if you follow traditional advice - buy both - which one do you develop?

Although the web is international, the way that it had been divided down into country level domains means that it has de facto become possible to look at the ending of domains and see what part of the world they cover.  To this extent it means that if your target market is the UK then it will help you to have a dotcodotuk.

Why?

Search engines will immediately be able to tell that you are targetting the UK. Web users will see the ending and know that if they want delivery in the Uk it is a site for them.

Advantages of dotcom

Dotcom conveys an illusion of international presence, but search engines will still attempt to discover which country the site is aimed at.  Aesthetically dotcom is shorter and easier to use in advertising and marketing.
