Yes
i am looking into getting a domain name..

now i have found a name i am happy with and its available:nuts: took some doing mind.

hell most are gone...:suspect:

anyhow .. would i be better off getting .com or .co.uk


and what is the main difference...



thanks in advance..


md:thumbs:

but i will thank pepole again :wave:
 
.com implies international
.co.uk implies, well, uk really

.com rolls of the tonque more easily
.co.uk may be what people expect

if your customers are uk based then it probably doesn't matter which you choose
you could always take both and point one at the other

whichever you go for - do it quick, just in case someone else gets in there

oh, for confusion - what about .biz (:gag:)

(not helping am I?)
 
.co.uk says you are a Brit

.com says you have international aspirations

If you plan on selling your 'Puppies' internationally, go for .com otherwise, as I have, .co.uk

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

If it's Lynn's 'puppies' .porn.com will do fine

I had JaniceHobbsPhotography.co.uk for a year... then changed it to .com

I got .co.uk first as I was proud to be British!! :D But then I found .com sounded more better... made it sounds shorter and, as was said above, it rolls off your tongue better.

Only my opinion though. :thumbs:
 
Why not get both? If they're both available you'd prolly regret it one day if you didn't.
 
thanks guys and gals

I agree with Flashy, get both if at all possible. And if you want to be serious, the .net as well. I like .nets :)
 
.com's are more expensive than .co.uk's although not by much as domain names are quite cheap..but if your ona budget it might be worth considering.

But why not get both? I got .com .co.uk and .net for my own...you just have to set it up right and concentrate on the one domain ending though.

For personal stuff, I just use .co.uk, but for the business that my partner & I are setting up we've bought the .com & the .co.uk... we divert the .com to the .co.uk website, so it doesn't matter which one customers type in, they get the right site.

My business does exactly the same. I think it's important for the "main" address of the site to be dot-co-dot-uk, since it says where we're based, but a lot of people assume that everything is dot-com and you don't want to give any potential customers an easy way not to find you.
