Home | .co Domain Names - Melbourne IT DBS Domain name registration
In addition to "co" being common abbreviation for company and corporation, a .co domain name can help increase website traffic. Research based on website averages for domain name type-in behavior indicates that on average a .co domain name can generate 7% of the traffic of the equivalent .com domain name. In many cases this will easily make it well worth the cost of adding a number of .co domains to a portfolio.
Companies may also want to consider securing their brand as a defensive registration since .co will become available to the general public in the landrush and general availability phases. Companies interested in application for any phase can submit their domain name requests and Melbourne IT will handle submission for the appropriate phase.
