Your Domain Name is the Gateway to Your Business
Bring your domain to life by choosing from over 400 domain extensions that perfectly match your brand or business.
Why Your Top Level Domain (TLD) Matters
Listen up, folks – that says TLD, not TLDR. Picking the right domain extension is an important choice. Your domain extension gives your visitors a good idea of your niche, identity, or cause. Your choice of TLD also impacts your SEO ranking!
Choosing the right domain name can help you skyrocket to success by letting your visitors know they are exactly where they need to be, and by helping Google bring untold numbers of wayward lost souls to your virtual doorstep.
For example: If you're developing a business and will operate in only one country, it may favor your SEO strategy to use a geographic or country code extension (ccTLD) like .de or .uk instead of .com.
