Domain Country Codes and List of Country Domain Names
Each country has been granted a unique country code internet extension. Examples include dot.jp for Japan, dot.ca for Canada, dot.ru for Russia and dot.us of the United States. With a few exceptions, internet addresses that end with country codes have failed to catch on with consumers. The dot.com extension remains firmly the suffix of choice for businesses desiring established credentials.
Lately, countries with attractive country codes have been actively marketing their country code extensions for use outside of their home countries. Examples include dot.tv for the country of Tuvalu, dot.me for the country of Montenegro and most recently dot.co for the country of Columbia.
We advise our international clients that as a defensive measure, to secure their country code extension (when available) and redirect prospects to their primary dot.com website.
Choosing the Right Domain Extension
The dot.com extension is simply far too dominant globally and is now ingrained as part of the brand experience.
The global marketplace has come to expect that a company's dot.com domain name is an extension of their corporate name. For example, the dot.com domains Shell.com, Tesco.com, Coke.com, IBM.com, Carrefour.com, Microsoft.com and Ikea.com are all linked to their respective company names.
