Why register a ccTLD? When businesses are located in a specific country, they need to project the image that their products or services are satisfying the specific needs of the country. A good method to achieve this is through a ccTLD, which manifests and reveal a local character. In what countries should I register? A business should register its Domain Names in the countries in which it plans to develop. It is highly recommended for a business, planning to locate in a specific country, to register the domain in that country for future commercial presence. Otherwise the risk exists that a third party may reserve the domain name for its own use. Can I register my domain as a trademark? Yes you can and it is highly recommended. By registering your domain as a Registered Trademark you protect not only the name of your domain, but you also avoid having third parties register similar domain names to your trademark.
