> This certainly suggests a different conclusion than "don't buy ccTLDs unless you live there". From the article's conclusion: > Are ccTLDs Ever Useful? > I certainly don’t think it’s a good idea to register a domain under a ccTLD for “vanity” purposes: because it makes a word, is the same as a file extension you like, or because it looks cool. > Finally, it might be somewhat safer to register under a ccTLD if you live in the location involved.
