Is your domain name working hard enough?

Currently, whether you have registered a .com or a .co.uk domain there are no restrictions if you would like to register both versions of your domain name - and many people do!.

Of course, the choice is all a matter of your preference - .com is often regarded as "International" where the .co.uk domain is deemed to be "UK only", usually it depends on the target market.

Whilst, the .com domain is recognised world wide, it is easier to remember and to type, and there is a whole world full of people who could register it before you do!

If your target is primarily the UK market then registering just the .co.uk domain would seem to be the obvious choice. The .co.uk instantly identifies you as a UK company and often, given a list of URLs in a search engine, people will choose a domain / URL with their country code. Therefore, it follows that if you want to extend your target market then registering your domain with other country-code top-level domains (ccTLD) will expand your target audience.

Registering both .com and .co.uk (and others such as .at, .dk, .es, .eu, .ie, .it, .nz, .se etc) domain names in fact makes very good sense - it stops anyone else from registering your name and leaves it ready for you to use either right away or in the future.

Background

.br is the Internet country code top level domain name (ccTLD) for Brazil, which is also officially known as the Federative Republic of Brazil. It is the largest country in South America and also the fifth largest country in the world, further making it the fifth most populous country. It's first language is Portuguese. Before 2005 it was operated by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee, but the .br domain name is now run by the Brazilian Network Information Centre. As the domain name is intended for Brazilian residents, applicants outside the country must have a local contact. The .br domain name is also the most popular Portuguese website suffix, surpassing even .com in popularity.

Registrations are at a third-level under various second-level domain labels. The second-level labels have varying restrictions and are selected from a list that defines the category your domain name is similar to. Various examples of this are as follows: site.art.br would be found in the art category, whilst site.org.br would be found in the category for non-governmental organisations. However, this excludes universities as tertiary education - though they are able to register under the edu.br domain name, some use com.br or just .br (mainly public universities). As of Febuary 2007, it is common for applicants to ignore most second-level labels and just go for com.br, leaving the com.br domain name to have almost 90% of all registrants because, though the label is intended for general trade, since 2008, it may be applied for by individuals. Here is a list of the sub-domains available:

• AM.BR - AM sound broadcasting.
• COOP.BR - for the Organisation of Brazilian Cooperatives.
• EDU.BR - for educational organisations.
• FM.BR - for FM sound broadcasting.
• GOV.BR - for government entities.
• MIL.BR - for the Ministry of Defence.
• ORG.BR - for non-governmental organisations.
• PSI.BR - for Internet service providers.
