Choosing suitable extensions before buying a domain name.

Depending on your marketing purpose, you should first consider which extension is going to be a suitable.

Extensions are relevant to brands, an audience, business or personal ventures.

They can also represent geographical areas so you should adapt them for the purpose of the website.

For example, .org domains are typically used by charities and not-for-profits.

If you are fundraising for charity, people would naturally expect to see a .org (International) or a .org.uk (UK) domain.

UK Businesses would typically choose a .co.uk or a .UK domain name and international brands mat use a .COM name.

Beware of international companies trying to fake a UK presence using a .uk or .co.uk domain name.

The wise business owner will be choosing a brand name that has all 5 of the top domains available with and without hyphens to protect their brand.
