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

Canadian domain names have the suffix ".ca", and are restricted to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada or trademark holders (the domain name must match the trademark).

There are other groups who can register a Canadian domain name, these include:

Once registered, ".ca" domain names can not be transferred between registrars until 30 days has passed from the date of registration, this rule is set by the registry and domains are "locked" at the registry to ensure this rule can not be bypassed.

The Canadian registry ("CIRA") reserves the right to request documentation to prove the validity of information provided by the registrant when registering the domain name. This can be requested by the registry at any time while the domain is registered. If this information isn't supplied to the registry, and the registrant has not contacted the registry to explain why the requested information hasn't been provided, the domain may be suspended for 60 days. If the matter isn't resolved between the registrant and registrar, the domain may be cancelled and eventually made available for general registration again.

The registry also state that the registrant must immediately inform them of any pending or threatened claim, demand, action, cause of action, proceeding, lawsuit, investigation or application ("Claim") in relation to any Domain Name Registration

The domain name must also not be used to slander or discriminate against another person, or be used in connection with this. The domain name must also not be used for any purposes which are illegal, or would bring the Canadian registry into disrepute.

When you register a Canadian domain name, under ".ca", you are accepting the Canadian registries rules and agreeing to their terms and conditions. As part of this agreement, the registry reserve the right to publish or otherwise make available the following information used in the domain registration, for the Registrant and Technical / Administrative contact:

If the registrant breaches the registration agreement at any time during the registration period of a domain name, the Canadian registry CIRA may ban the individual or organisation from registering new Canadian domain names for up to three years, at its discretion.
