Hope this is the right forum to post this question.
I've noticed that a number of established and well-to-do companies are ignoring .com and only registering .co.uk. What is the reasoning behind that? I appreciate that their market is the UK but they are missing out on direct traffic and possible expansion opportunities. Could it be attributed to lack of domain knowledge?
We're getting the odd inquiries through our dot com domains directed to the .co.uk business (generic names of course), and just came across a business few minutes ago that claims to spend large sum of money in paid advertising but the dot com of their name is readily available for anyone to register.
