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. Did you know that with Web Forwarding you can have as many domain names as you like pointing to a single website - see Web Forwarding below.

Background

Since the year 1998 when the assignment of domain names for the Principality of Monoco area were entrusted by the Government of Monaco, The Direction des Telecommunications de Monaco had been the registry for the ccTLD .mc while also maintaining the database of .mc.

In charge of this registry and safe operations of the Domain name system, also known as 'DNS', is the Councillor for Public Works and Social Affairs. Only public/private organisations or legal commercial entities are accepted for the Monegasque domain names. Those applications sent from single people or informal organisations will not be accepted or given a domain name.

Domain names can represent a company name, an organisation or association, a logo or a trade mark. Rules that apply to the names are as follows:

1. The minimum amount of characters allowed in the domain name is 3. This is unless there is a justified reason for anything different.
2. Only the roman alphabet of 'a-z' is authorised.
3. Numbers '0-9' can be used, as can hyphens.
4. All other characters are not suitable for a .mc domain name.

Second level domain names that are currently managed by the Direction des Telecommunications de Monaco:

• .mc - Used for company and organisation names.
• .tm.mc - Used for registered trade marks registered under .mc.
• .asso.mc - Used for associations registered under .mc.

It is up to the person applying to make sure that any requested domain name does not harm law concerning trade marks or the code of intellectual property. Any disagreements about the use of a .mc domain name must be dealt between those concerned.
