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

Responsible for managing the Internet Domain Names Registry for the country code top-level Domain for Jersey (.je) and Guernsey (.gg) is the Channel Islands Internet Domain Name Registry.

When you have registered a domain name, it does not give any legal rights to that name. Any disputes the occur over a particular name can then be settled through normal legal methods. A registration is subject to a person and therefore a reply cannot be given in an instance.

The Channel Islands Internet Domain Name Registry try their best to process all applications with two to three working days. Excluded from this are any domain names that are told to be particularly important. If you contact the registrar and let them know the same day that you have applied, they will try get your application processed quicker. The minimum period for registration of a .je domain name is one year.

There is a list of reserved names that are not to be used for the public. It is kept by the Insular Authorities, also known as the Island's governments. These reserved names are certain words or string patterns to allow future expansion If a name that you have applied for is similar to one of these reserved names, it is possible that the request will be declined.

Terms which must be read when choosing a domain name are as follows:

• Characters accepted are from the Roman Alphabet (a-z).
• Digits 0-9 are allowed.
• The only specialised character allowed is a hyphen (-).
• The first and last characters cannot be a hyphen as it is currently not offered by the Internationalised domain name (IDN).
• If you want a domain name consisting of only number or two hyphens, it is not guaranteed that it will be accepted.

As follows are the second-level domain names and are available under the .je ccTLD:

• .je & .co.je: For Commercial or Personal use.
• .org.je: For use by Organisations.
• .net.je: For ISP and Commercial use.
• .sch.je: For the Guernsey Grid for Learning.
• .gov.je: For official use by the States of Jersey. Can also be used by Jersey Parishes.
