Here’s how to choose a domain extension for SEO and users

[Arpit131]

Like most online businesses around Asia, inevitably, your website needs to be focused on an audience larger than just one country. As a result, you probably have (or should have) spent some time thinking about the best ways to organize and optimize your site for different countries.

One of the first and most important decisions most people need to make when expanding their horizons to an international audience is determining which domain structure should be used for additional languages and countries.

1. Create a separate folder on your existing root domain for the new country and language.
2. Create subdomains for each country or language.
3. Create individual country-targeted websites on Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD).

For a multi-language site, folder vs subdomain isn't as important for SEO as implementing hreflang correctly.

You can also create a sub domain and redirect it to an URL. For example I just made URL
http://premium-domain.regboss.com and it directs to http://www.regboss.com/attorneys.html

When you control the URL you can place an awesome first word - domain even if not trademarked. A short URL for main domain looks better.

Besides that I think I have some better domain names one could use for extensions rather than some of the new regs I have seen lately. lol Now working on the FREE SSL certificates coding.
Working on a work around for implentation. Then you can have the https: for site.
