Choosing a Domain Zone

Let's now discuss how to correctly choose a zone for your new domain. You need to consider the following things: the website's theme, the expected geography of your potential visitors, the availability of free domains in the zone, the price of a domain in the selected zone.

If you are targeting an audience within one country, then the national domain zone of that country is a good choice.

If your website's geography fits one of the regional zones, then you can choose it as well. For example, if you have a website only for residents of Moscow, then the .moscow zone would also be a good choice.

If you allow for the possibility that your website's geography will grow in the future, then it is better to choose an international or thematic zone.

You can choose a thematic zone, even if you are targeting only one country.

Some zones, for example, the .it zone, are national (Italy), but due to the beautiful combination of letters, they are used all over the world. In this case, the .it zone is well suited for a website with an IT theme.

There is a third nuance. In old zones, for example, in .com, almost all good names are already taken. Therefore, it makes sense to consider newer zones.

There is a fourth nuance. The fact is that domains in different zones have different prices, often an order of magnitude higher than in other zones. It is important to find a balance and think about whether you are ready to pay more.
