Choose with confidence
If you sell across borders or expect your audience to expand, .com lets your name stand without a country-specific ending. It can suit an online service, independent brand or consultancy serving customers in several markets.
Try a distinctive version of your brand rather than adding a string of numbers. An extra word that explains your product can be easier to remember. Alternatively, compare .co.uk for a UK audience or .net for a network or technical project.
If you register .com alongside a UK domain, choose which one should appear in your website links and emails. You can forward an additional domain to the main site instead of maintaining two copies of the same website.

About this extension
Verisign operates the .com registry. It maintains the shared registration infrastructure, while UKC provides your ordering, renewal and domain-management account. IANA: .com delegation record (opens in a new tab)
The original domain categories described in 1984 included COM for commercial organisations. IANA records .com’s introduction in 1985. Today it is open to individuals as well as businesses, giving it a role well beyond its original commercial category and without a country-specific ending.
