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

The Internet county code top-level domain, also known as ccTLD, for Lithuania is .lt. The official administrator for the .lt domain name is the Information Technology Development Institute at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU ITPI). They perform management functions that are needed for the .lt domain name, these being delegated by the Internet self regulation institution.

Rules which apply when deciding the name for a .lt domain are as follows:

• Maximum amount of characters allowed is 63, minimum being 2.
• Permitted characters are the roman alphabet (a-z) which are case sensitive, and special Lithuanian characters (ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų and ž).
• Numbers 0-9 are allowed.
• Hyphens can be used but cannot be place at the beginning or end of the domain name.

4. The Administrator who gives out the domain names does not have preferences. It does not favour one person over another and therefore any disputes with particular names does not involve them.
5. The Applicant must be positive that all data provided to the Administrator is correct.
