.co vs .com

Colombia's ccTLD has been successfully repositioned as a global startup-friendly alternative to .com. It is shorter and often has better domain availability, but some users may confuse .co with a typo of .com.

Choose .com for maximum brand protection and consumer familiarity. Choose .co if you want a shorter domain, are a startup, or your preferred .com is unavailable.
