TLD Recommender

Choosing the right TLD (Top-Level Domain) can make or break your brand's online presence. With hundreds of domain extensions available—from classic .com to trendy .io to industry-specific options like .tech and .store—the decision isn't always straightforward. Our free TLD recommender analyzes your business type, target audience, and budget to suggest the perfect domain extension.

Not all TLDs carry equal weight. While .com remains the gold standard for credibility and memorability, newer extensions like .io have become synonymous with tech startups. Country-code TLDs like .co (Colombia, but widely used globally) and .de (Germany) serve different strategic purposes. Our recommender explains the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision.

Budget matters too. Premium TLDs like .ai and .io typically cost $30-60/year, while some new gTLDs like .online and .xyz can be under $10. Our recommendations include estimated annual costs and highlight when a premium extension is worth the investment versus when budget options make more sense.

Industry alignment can boost your brand. Tech companies benefit from .io, .dev, or .ai. E-commerce stores gain trust with .store or .shop. Non-profits are instantly recognized with .org. Our tool matches your business category to extensions that signal the right identity to your target audience.

Beyond the obvious choices, we highlight hidden gems—TLDs that offer strong availability, reasonable pricing, and good brand fit that you might not have considered. Stop guessing and start choosing based on data.
