It's odd that 404 Media chose a .co (Colombia) TLD.
- burnte 3y agoNot really, lots of companies use .co instead of .com because there's different availability. It's been a second tier alternative to .com for years.
- theandrewbailey 3y agoTechnically, it's still the ccTLD for Colombia, even though anyone can register a .co domain, similar to .io (for British Indian Ocean Territory). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.co https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.co
- burnte 3y agoThat is true, but no one is disputing that.
- tredre3 3y agoColombia, not Columbia.
- theandrewbailey 3y agoYou're right, fixed.
- input_sh 3y agoThere's a lot of ccTLDs that are considered to be "generic": .ai, .as, .fm, .io, .me, .tv, .ws... For example Google search will treat them the same as .com, while others like .de or .fr are gonna be interpreted as if your website is targetting a specific market.
