Don’t settle for a long domain name — register a .CO!

.CO domain name is the biggest new domain since .COM and most major Internet domain registrars began selling .co domain names on Tuesday including GoDaddy.com.

.CO is practically the same as .COM but it seemed like a better extension simply because it’s one letter less.  I think few years from now .CO could easily be the preferred domain extension.

According to GoDaddy.com website, .CO is understood around the world as an abbreviation for “COmpany,” “COrporation” and “COmmerce,” .CO is easy to recognize, simple to remember and flexible to use.

One of the early adopters of the .co domain name is Twitter which the company is using for its URL shortening service similar to Bit.ly.

Why Choose .CO?

• .CO is meaningful, memorable and intuitive for people around the world
• .CO is relevant to individuals, businesses, and organizations
• .CO gives businesses and brands the chance to create a worldwide footprint
• .CO appeals to today’s socially-networked individuals and entrepreneurs
• With the .COM inventory nearly exhausted, .CO is a perfect, short alternative for branding your business.
• It’s new! No need to compromise – find your ideal domain.

According to some news sources, Online retailer Overstock.com  paid $350,000 for O.co and “related URLs.”

I just started looking at the .co domains to possibly register one. All the good ones are gone already. I wonder who snatched Pepsi.co and Cis.co?

I registered another new domain today but before I did that, I checked my emails which I got from GoDaddy. They have special promo by way of offering discounts using a promo code when registering or transferring a domain.

As you can see from the picture above the normal price of .COM domain name is $10.69 but currently they’re giving it away for $9.99. The good news is, you can still get MORE Discounts if you will use their discount code. Just like what’s you can see on the image below, but if you read further I’ll show you the hidden supercodes that domain buyers are using and keeping all the profits to themselves.

Here are the two promo codes that I received from them via email:

• fbfDom10 - get 10% OFF* our regular prices on .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, and .US domains.
• fbgdhome20 - get 20% OFF* your order of $75 or more. This special offer expires 7/13/2009, so start shopping now! Based on my experienced, this code actually never expires.

TIP: Most Go Daddy coupons are only valid on NEW domain registrations or on domain transfers. Therefore, buy multiple years upfront to save!
