6 Benefits of .ME Domain Names

6 benefits of .me domain names

The .ME domain is the only domain extension that is truly about you. Judging by the current number of .ME domain registrations, there are about 1 million reasons to buy a .ME domain. Find out what is a parked domain.

1. Personal Branding Online

A captivating online identity is as important in the virtual world as a good personality is when you meet someone face-to-face. Whether you are about to create a personal site, put a resume online, share a photo album, or launch a small business, nothing says “this is my piece of Internet” as a combination of your name and the .ME domain. Not to mention that you rightly deserve to have an online presence that is as memorable, unique, and inspiring as your offline life.

2. Clever Marketing Messages in the URL

Almost any combination of a verb and the .ME domain transforms the name of your site into a powerful marketing message. Find.ME, Follow.ME, Take.ME and Cover.ME are only a few examples of call-to-action that can motivate customers.

3. Personalized Email

Want to keep your personal email and your business email separate? If you register “yourlastname.me” you will do a favour not only to yourself but also to the entire family. With this, your personal and business lives online will remain separate.

4. Big Brands use .ME

A lot of high-profile companies and up-and-coming startups utilize .ME’s ability to make their products stand out from the crowd. For instance, Facebook uses Fb.ME, Sling.ME and Rooms.ME, WordPress uses Wp.ME and JetPack.ME, Line.ME and Tango.ME, two billion-dollar startups, also launched their websites on the .ME domain. See more examples below:

  • Time magazine uses ti.me
  • Mercedes Benz uses benz.me
  • Visa uses v.me
  • Al Jazeera uses aje.me

5. Geo-Targeting

Although .ME is the country code domain for Montenegro, search engines allow geo-targeting and you can set your preferred geographic location. In other words, on .ME domains you can run your business from any country in the world without having to worry about the geo restrictions that may have been placed on other extensions.

6. Truly Worldwide Extension

.ME domains can be registered anytime, anywhere without any burdensome documentation, but, most importantly the extension itself carries the meaning in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Bulgarian as well as the languages spoken in the former Yugoslavia.
