.co Domain Names are available for registration

Most anticipated Top Level Domain Name in years has gone live to the public

At 7pm GMT today, one of the most well publicised Top Level Domain names (TLD’s) has finally gone on sale to the general public after a huge marketing and pre-order campaign from every major Domain Registrar. The .co domain name assigned to Columbia is the latest of many country-based TLD’s to become available to everyone. Domains like this are normally reserved for Columbian Nations and business’s who have a presence in Columbia. Rarely do outsiders get the opportunity to purchase such a great TLD.

It’s becoming common practice for countries to allow registration to take place oversea’s as the demand for short domain names increase. Short and relevant .com’s, and for us residing in the UK, .co.uk’s are becoming increasing difficult to get hold of. With the surge of URL shorting services like bit.ly, Owl.ly and large corporations like Goog.le, YouTu.be and Flic.kr cleverly using there domain names to save valuable characters, it’s much more acceptable and necessary for people and business’s to use these TLD’s.

What makes the .co so special is it’s size; three characters as opposed to .co.uk’s five, it’s commonality within many existing TLD’s; such as .co.uk, and it’s application within existing popular terms like Mexico, Tobacco and Disco as well as the thousands of words in other languages. Finally, with the introduction of any new TLD, you get an extra opportunity to buy that domain name you always wanted but was always taken.

This is one of the last opportunities to get hold of a short domain name like this. The most competitive rate I’ve found is from Heart Internet at just £19.99 each. Click here to purchase yours today.

Now we should expect to see a huge rise in Search Engine traffic for ‘words that end with co’.
