In case, you want to get a .com domain name, and unfortunately the name is already sold, don’t get too discouraged guys, as you could still get the name in .co variety. Operator of dot co domains, .CO Internet S.A.S., has just announced that .co domains are available for people via some registrars like GoDaddy.com, Network Solutions, Register.com, and so on.
For all useful purposes, the new .co domains are basically similar to .com domains; that means they are available to anyone and come on a first-come, first-serve basis. One of the best benefits of the .co domains, besides the fact that they’re akin to .com domains, is the fact that they are already widely known, as over 20 countries, including the United Kingdom (.co.uk), Indonesia (.co.id), Japan (.co.jp), and many more already use them for their specific domains.
One of the first adopters of the new .co domain name is Twitter, which got fingers on the domain t.co, and is currently used as its official URL shortener service.
