Move Strategically: Register Multiple Domain Names
With the proliferation of online searches for companies, owning multiple domains gives you the opportunity to reach your customers in numerous ways.
Registering multiple domains and multiple domain extensions not only gives you greater visibility but also protects your brand, preventing people from infringing on your identity. Like a growing number of our successful customers, you can strategically register multiple domain names to:
1. Promote and highlight your individual products and services.
2. Create unique marketing campaigns to target niche or localized markets.
3. Prevent your competition from registering words or phrases related to your business.
4. Increase your potential to be listed and found via multiple methods in search engines.
5. Enable potential customers to find you in multifarious ways.
6. Drive more traffic to your main site.
7. Protect your brand.
8. Protect future concepts and ideas before bringing them to fruition.
9. Capture misspellings of your domain name, and direct customers to your home page.
