.CO registrations reach 400,000

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

coAfter just 18 days since the official launch of the .CO domains registrations reached over 400,000. This makes it the most successful launch of a new domain extension in recent history with domains being purchased in 182 different countries around the world.

Google has also announced that .CO domains will be “Google-National” which means they will have the same geo-targeting options available as the other generic TLDs, such as .com, .net, .biz and .org. This is great news as .CO websites can be targeted to meet your requirements anywhere around the world!

There are still plenty of good keyword rich .CO domains available, so if you’ve not yet added any to your portfolio you can check the availability and place your registrations via our domain registration facility.
