High visibility webhosting companies including Amazon, Apple, Google, Overstock "O.co" and Twitter "T.co" have registered .CO domain names. Overstock.com spent $350,000 for O.co and Twitter took T.co for its shortened URL. .CO is being offered as an alternative to .com and is internationally recognized by the global business community as an abbreviation for "Company," "Corporation" and "Commerce" .CO is currently used in different 60 countries as part of their current TLD - E.G. Angloa (co.ao), United Kingdom (.co.uk), Zimbabwe (.co.zw) etc.; and .CO can be GEO Targeted to 253 different countries in the world. As of today's date .CO Webhosting Domain Registration hit 466,246 .co domains registered. In stark contrast there are over 100,000,000 .com domains registered. With over 100,000,000 dot com registrations the .com domain extension is essentially exhausted! Many people and companies missed their chance at securing a great .com domain name. This time individuals and Webhosting Companies have an opportunity to be on the front end of the curve; and now after 20 years of virtually no competition for .com, the internet is ready to expand again. However, while you were kicking back and watching TV over the weekend; someone may have already grabbed your dream domain name. This time if you don't get the domain you really want, it may be your own fault. |
