I recommend you to choose .com domain extension for your website, for any country.
In some Senairo Specfic Domain are the represent of Specific Industry.
A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country, sovereign state, or dependent territory identified with a country code. All ASCII ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.
Country specific domains are useful if you target a regional audience like for a national company.
Or a local vendor of business product.
It is useful when you rely on getting traffic from a particular region or a land.
Some ccTLDs, such as .co or .io, have an international reputation. In other words, Google equally well indexes .com and .co
ccTLDs are important for branding especially if you are a local business. Say you are a masala vendor based in Mumbai, India, then having a domain name such as xyzmasala.in makes sense because it makes the consumer feel that you are based out of India, you are authentic and the fact that you are a masla vendor from India means you know your business well, since India is known for masalas apart from many other things.
So when it comes to branding your website, a ccTLD plays a huge role as compared to the usual .COMs of the world. I had a client based in India who I got a .IN domain from BigRock in a sweet deal because the products he sold were only made in India and nowhere else in the world. So, yes, it totally makes sense to have a ccTLD.
yes, it does matter. Country-specific domain extensions are always good for businesses that are targeting local customers – it raises the confidence of your website's visitors, especially when they come from the country of the TLD.
I agree, when choosing a domain should be guided by the country where the business activity will be conductedQuote:
