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 top domain is operated by IFF (The Internet Infrastructure Foundation), but domains must be registered through one of the approved registrars. ".se" is a foundation and is managed on the basis of its charter of foundation and its statutes. The Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors, whose decisions are executed by the executive management. In 2006, a new Chairman of the Board, Rune Brandinger, and a new CEO, Danny Aerts, took office.

Prior to April 2003, the rules governing domains under the ".se" top domain were highly restrictive. Only companies, associations and authorities registered nation-wide were allowed to register a domain, and it had to be very similar to the registered name. Individual products were not eligible for separate domain names, even if they were registered trademarks. Individuals could register one (and only one) domain with the suffix ".pp.se" (pp is an abbreviation for "privatperson", "private person"), and companies and organizations registered in just a single county were eligible for domains with a ".se" suffix.

With the new rules, any entity or person may register any number of domains, subject to few restrictions. You may register whatever ".se" domain you want, as long as it is free, not in .se's Blocked or Reserved list. At the same time, the rules for domain name allocation were changed to the principle of first-come, first-served. More simple rules for dispute resolution were also created. As of October 2003, ".se" started accepting registrations of internationalized domain names, containing the letters å, ä, ö è and ü. On 6 September 2007, a total of 250 characters became available, supporting names in all of the legally recognized minority languages of Sweden: Finnish, Tornedalsfinska, Sami, Romany and Yiddish.

".se" is the first TLD to offer DNSSEC services. There are currently around 900.000 active domains in Sweden which means that there is 1 web pages on ever 10 people. A few hundred new web pages gets registered everyday.
