Many websites are not country specific. They started somewhere and are headquartered somewhere, but it is not something users should need to remember.

- lmm 10y agoUsing the global TLDs for a global site is fine. But I wish there was a rule against using .com/.org/... domains for sites that are restricted to a single country (e.g. a shop that only ships to the USA should be under .us)
- dx034 10y agoThis is the case in nearly all countries except the US. In the UK, nearly all shops will have a .co.uk domain. In Germany .de domains, etc. It's just that .com is believed to be the US equivalent for that, not an international domain. That's also how large sites handle it. Amazon.com will lead you to the US page, not to an international section (e.g. where you could choose where to go).
