Box of Top Level Domains (TLD's)

If you’re thinking about registering multiple TLD’s with your domain name, you’ve got the right idea. Registering and using multiple domain names for your website is a great strategy for building your web business. It also provides a bit of insurance for preventing others from cybersquatting your success.  

When you register multiple domain names, you can:

  • Keep your competition from registering a domain name that draws customers to them instead of you.
  • Promote the different products and services you offer.
  • Drive more traffic to your main website from different channels .
  • Enjoy more opportunities to market to — and be listed in — search engines.
  • Create distinct advertising strategies that reach different target markets.
  • Provide customers more ways to find you when searching the Internet.
  • Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page.
  • Protect your brand and online identity from those who may have unsavory purposes.

 

You may think it’s an expensive proposal to own multiple domains but in reality it’s very cheap. Domains range from around $7.00 – $15.00 per year with the average cost at about $10.00. If you ever have to buy a domain name from someone that acquired a TLD you need or want for your business it may cost you $1000′s. You don’t necessarily need to own every possible TLD for your business but the .com, .net, .org, .info, and .biz TLD’s are wise choices.
