International domain registration

marthrock · 07-13-2005, 08:12 AM

Does anyone know of a one stop shop for registering international domains? Also, I'd prefer it to be a site or company that can help me understand the ins and outs of the different requirements associated with different countries' rules and regs. I know it's a tall task but any help would be great.

Thanks

what type of international domains?

international TLD's or international characters?

well that actually brings up another question: what makes better sense, to have the tld or the cctld. I think Im accurate here but if I have widget.co.uk and i have widget.uk which is more effective anf findable/searchable to a resident of the UK?

I know with some of the TLD's the restrictions are so intrusive, it's a moot point unless I plan on spending a lot of money on a local presence. However I believe with the .co.uk type of extensions, its a little more laxed.

I would like to have a product presence globally and trying to secure the right domain is somewhat daunting. any advice or suggestions at all would be very helpful.

I would suggest the co.uk just for the fact it is noticed more globally then the direct .uk

whats the difference between co.uk and .uk? if you have a co.uk do you still need a local presence?

its just prefrence I believe. but I don't see many UK being in the USA. I see many co.uk on the other hand.
