The .co domain registration
Initially, the domain was created for the country of Colombia in 1991. But in 2010 its meaning was reinterpreted. The domain represents any commerce and is publicly available. With its help, every entrepreneur can simplify their life as the site in the .CO zone makes it easier to receive customers, build sales and sell out.
In 2018, ISO entered the top 20 most popular domains in the world. Considering the over-saturation of the .COM domain, similar in pronunciation and spelling, .CO very quickly became a powerful competitor. It is available for registration from 1 to 5 years maximum. Accordingly, you can extend the domain for a maximum of 5 years.
When registering a domain, remember – the ideal domain name contains between 3 and 15 characters. It is important that the name of the site is easily remembered, reflects your activities and contains keywords. At the same time it is best to avoid hyphens, dashes and double letters.
You can purchase a domain in the .co zone for 5 years. At the moment, the registration price is 12.500000, transfer is 42.650000. You can renew the domain for the next year at a price of 42.650000.

Tips for Choosing a Domain
Step 1
Research the marketBefore you register a domain for your business, you should pay attention to the names your competitors are using. Avoid registering names that are coherent with the existing ones. Absent-minded customers can make a mistake and place an order on a different website instead of yours.
Step 2
Make sure the domain is easyYou should register a domain name that is easy to remember and spell. Avoid using double words, numbers, dashes and similar characters. The easier the website address is, the higher the odds are that a potential user will find you in particular and not your competitors.
Step 3
Check the domain historyA domain name which had been previously registered can be either useful or harm your website. A domain that has been under the sanctions applied by search engines can compromise the reputation of your business. Check out our article that can help you when checking the domain history.
Step 4
Register domains in different zonesYour business idea may attract other entrepreneurs. Some dishonest competitors may use your reputation and popularity to register the same name in a different zone while stealing your clients. By purchasing domains in other zones and redirecting traffic from those domains to the main one, you broaden your business’ outreach on the internet.

Is it necessary to specify personal data when registering a domain?
The registrar cannot register a domain without the registrant's data. Otherwise, the domain will be available for others to order.
You need to specify the zip code and address for international domains. If this zip code doesn’t exist or it doesn’t match the address, the registrar will reject the registration application. According to the rules of service for international domain zones, you need to confirm your contact information after registering a domain!
You will be sent an email to verify the data specified in the contacts. This letter will contain a link to verify the information. You just need to click the link and the information will be verified. If the domain owner doesn’t verify the information, the domain will be blocked by the registrar.
