The .com domain is one of the most popular top-level domains worldwide. Find out why a .com domain is a good choice for your business!

It is still one of the most popular top-level domains worldwide: the .com ending. While there were just under 155 million registrations with .com in March 2021, the 160 million mark was broken in December. In November 2021 alone, 900,000 registrations were added - a development that was certainly fueled by the corona pandemic and the associated online trading boom. However, the constant growth has other good reasons that can drive your business forward - regardless of whether you are a corporation, SME, freelancer or self-employed with a small agency. Let's take a closer look at why and, above all, when this is the case. On the trail of the .com!


Since online malta phone data commerce has experienced a real boom due to the corona pandemic, cybercrime has also been on the rise. Malware, phishing, spamming: increasingly dubious cybercriminals are trying to use increasingly clever tricks to obtain sensitive customer data in order to swindle money. According to a representative survey commissioned by the digital association Bitkom, eight out of ten people (79 percent) were affected by criminal incidents on the Internet in 2021. As a result, the desire for trust and security is growing among online customers. And this "trust" begins with the choice of the right domain. After all, the domain name including the domain extension is a key tool for externally presenting your business and for acquiring customers. The .com domain is the oldest, most used and therefore the best-known extension in the world - by far. What's more: The .com achieves a badness index of just 0.52 points at Spamhaus (as of February 7, 2022). In comparison, the .surf extension scores 4.6 points – that means that over 60 percent of the websites examined are used for cybercriminal activities.

Speaking of which: Everyone knows the .com domain. However, not everyone knows what the abbreviation stands for. For a long time, there was a debate about whether .com should stand for "commercial/commerce" or "company". Then the commercial meaning was finally decided upon. Incidentally, .com went online on January 1, 1985. The .de domain followed in the fall of 1986 as a country-specific (country code) top-level domain (ccTLD) for Germany.

Further advantages of the .com
The .com domain is a choice that inspires trust, especially for companies operating internationally. In addition to conveying values ​​such as professionalism and seriousness, it offers other advantages compared to other endings:

Anyone in the world can register a .com domain, regardless of where they live and whether they are a legal entity or a natural person. For example, it is not so easy to register a .de domain in Germany if you do not live in Germany. In this case, you need a contact person who you must name to DENIC. This person must have a German delivery address - a PO box is not sufficient. However, this person is also liable for any possible legal violations - such as copyright infringements or violations of consumer protection laws.
Umlauts, special characters, Latin, Japanese, Korean and Hebrew letters are permitted in the .com domain name. This can make sense for extravagant products.
The registration costs are comparatively cheaper than for many other domain endings – such as ngTLDs (new generic top-level domains).
According to the Global Domain Report 2020 by InterNetX and Sedo, double-digit .com domains have brought the highest sales prices in recent years. With a .com domain, you can potentially make money from domain trading .
