What domains do customers trust?


Hi all,

I'm from the UK, so try and put yourself in my customers shoes.

We have a couple of domains (the below are theoretical)
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/business-development/579621-what-domains-do-customers-trust.html

www.sales.eu

www.salesdirect.eu

www.salesdirect.co.uk

www.sales-direct.co.uk

Which, as a customer, would you be most partial towards? Which one would you TRUST to buy something from, enter your CC details on.

At the moment I'm leaning towards redeveloping our platform onto a .co.uk from the .eu we started on; but need a little more help before deciding as all our emails for a business of 200+ staff are routed through our .eu domain.

I would trust the more generic because of the brand authority factor

fripmix is an unknown quantity at this point
 



My preference of those four is the salesdirect.eu domain because I don't like the word sales by itself and because I like the shorter .eu over the longer .co.uk.

I'm trying to think in the minds of consumers who may not necessarily have heard of .eu - so thinking of sticking with a .co.uk as the .com is not available and probably never will be!

Damn parking pages!
