Is .co a country domain or a generic domain?
Technically it is the country-code for Colombia, but it is sold worldwide without restriction and search engines treat it as a generic ending rather than a Colombian one.
Why is .co more expensive than .com?
The registry sets a higher wholesale price and the ending is in demand with startups. The registration, transfer and renewal prices are listed above.
Will customers confuse .co with .com?
Some typed traffic can drift to the .com, so many brands register both and redirect one to the other. If the .com belongs to an unrelated business, choose a name that stands on its own.
How long can I register a .co domain for?
Between one and five years.
