The number of people and businesses using the internet has skyrocketed over the last 40 years. In 1980, there were only about 50,000 internet users in the world. Now there are 3.2 billion users. Almost half of the entire world’s population will be online by the end of the year. With this trend, it’s important to think about the name you want for your website. In addition to .com, .net, .org, there are plenty of new options and domain name extensions. The .online domain name is a logical way of announcing that you are online. Whether you are a brick and mortar business looking to get online or you are a well established institution looking to reach people on the internet, there are 4 reasons to use a .online domain name.<\/p>\n

1.) .online is versatile<\/h3>\n

The word \u2018online\u2019 is understood in over 24 languages around the world.\u00a0Just as the word “pizza” has a direct translation in other languages, .online has the same meaning in multiple languages. This makes it a good choice for companies that plan to conduct business internationally.<\/p>\n

2.) .online compliments businesses with physical locations<\/h3>\n

If your business is primarily brick and mortar, .online is perfect to communicate that you have an extension of your business online.\u00a0Not just for large multinational corporations, .ONLINE works well for businesses that have a physical location or physical store. It is also a smart choice for universities and education institutions that offer distant online learning, online certificate courses and online degree programs.<\/p>\n

3.) Popular in Europe<\/h3>\n

.online is the most well-known new domain extension in Europe. It ranks number one in Germany, France and Poland. From a consumer-awareness standpoint, .online is a good choice.<\/p>\n

4.) Strong Usage<\/h3>\n

Over 1 million .online domain names have been registered across the globe. But going past simply registration, the number of people who actually use their domain and create a website has also been increasing rapidly. There are over 120,000 active websites using .online which further helps with general awareness.<\/p>\n

As a name that is understood globally and one that clearly denotes being live on the internet, .ONLINE is a great choice for anyone that wants to secure a prominent place on the internet.<\/p>\n
