My current website has a .com ending. I also own the .co.uk with the same name which is currently unused.
Now it has come time to update the site should it go to the .com and just replace the old site, or can it go to the .co.uk with a redirect from the .com.
What would be best in people opinions.
Non Phoenix related question more .co.uk or .com

Re: Non Phoenix related question more .co.uk or .com
IIRC, you sell to other countries besides U.K. so, for that reason alone, it would be best to stick with .com

Thanks for that. It seems that if you keep looking online there are pros and cons to both, and good arguments for what ever choice is made.heatherbell wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:18 pm IIRC, you sell to other countries besides U.K. so, for that reason alone, it would be best to stick with .com

As the article details, it is dependent on the location of your target market.

Re: Non Phoenix related question more .co.uk or .com
I've both .com and .co.uk directed to the same webstore - have to do that through your server if I remember correctly14Steve14 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 11:05 am My current website has a .com ending. I also own the .co.uk with the same name which is currently unused.

Re: Non Phoenix related question more .co.uk or .com
That is what I am currently thinking of doing, unless I can think of anything better to do with the .co.uk
