Host a .com domain

A .com domain is no better than any other TLD: its advantage lies quite simply in its popularity. Whether you are an individual, a company or an association, buying and hosting a .com extension gives your website optimum visibility among Internet users worldwide.

What is more, .com domains are extremely well-suited to search engine optimization (SEO), since their longevity means that search engines are more likely to find them. In short, if you have the opportunity to purchase a .com domain and want to capitalize on its popularity, it is advisable to do so. That is why small and medium-sized businesses and fast-growing start-ups often opt for a .com domain.

Admittedly, a .com domain has many advantages. On the other hand, it is not always the best choice.

As a generic TLD, .com is, by definition, not country-specific. On the other hand, compared with generic TLDs, national domains (ccTLDs) such as .ca for Canada and .fr for France enjoy a higher level of trust in their respective countries.

So what can you do if you still want to bank on popularity? The answer is simple. Companies and brand owners are advised to obtain a .com domain, in addition to other combinations with top-level domains (ccTLDs or others) that are of particular importance to them. It is a proven business strategy!
