This thought has bothered many people in the world and that is why now website owners are seeking to pre-register shop-domains for their shopping websites.
The online shopping industry has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry in just a few years and that calls for necessity to have a different web extension for shopping websites. It is quite obvious that a shopping website with .SHOP extension looks more promising than a shopping website having .COM, .NET, .ORG or any such extension having in front of its name. So the idea of shop-domains makes complete sense too.
The total number of people that are using internet today has already exceeded 2 billion-mark and that is the main reason why online shops are making more progress today. With just a few clicks of mouse, you can get your desired product delivered at your house and the best thing is; a person can read reviews about a product before actually purchasing it from the internet. Having all this information on table top, it is clear that specially designed domain names are important for online shopping world.
The Major Benefits of Having Shop-Domains or .SHOP Domains
There are numerous benefits that a person can get by pre-registering a .SHOP domain and some of those benefits are described below.
This is the best thing about .SHOP domain names because you get access to millions of domain names that were not available before. The .COM sphere has already captured most of the desirable domain names so people are left with no or less choices. However, with shop-domains, you can easily register a premium domain name by spending minimal amount of money.
This benefit has already been discussed above but let me spread some more light on the topic here. If a person has a .SHOP domain, his chances of attracting more customers will increase dramatically because people will consider that website solely dedicated to shopping. This is a great benefit that a person can get by registering shop-domains for his/ her online store.
Search Engines are always in search of unique content and ideas to rank on their first pages. A domain with .SHOP extension is more likely to come on top when a user searches for “online shopping” as compared to other .COM, .ORG, .NET or .ME domain names. .SHOP itself is a relevant keyword for shopping so its chances of topping the search results are higher too.
It is in your best interest to pre-register shop-domains as soon as possible because people will jump to register their favorite names once the registration is completely open.
