Why use a .com domain?

Show your global identity

.com is the most popular top-level domain (TLD) worldwide. Using a .com domain  shows visitors that your business or website is aimed at a global audience and can be used to convey a sense of scale to visitors.

Protect your brand

When establishing your brand you should, at the very least, seek to protect your product and business names in the major top-level domains including .eu, .com, .co.uk and .ie. This will help prevent issues down the line where other businesses or competitor might try and obtain the same names.

Get found easily
When targeting a global audience, using .com helps build global reach and avoids local restrictions. Outside of your home country, search engines like Google are more likely to show your site higher in searches by global visitors when it is on a .com domain name.undefinednbsp; If your customers are primarily based outside of Ireland, using .com is a good idea.
More trusted
People naturally recognize and type .com which can improve click-through rates from search engines. International visitors, most especially those in the US may be less familiar with country code top-level domain names like .ie and so may be more comfortable visiting a site on a .com domain.undefinednbsp;
