I have a decision to make, I had already made my decision but have just been reading a discussion on the merits and pitfalls of having either a .co.uk or .com webby address.

(Sorry Sandra, I am purely here to make your life difficult you have permission to throw stuff at me )

At the moment I have this littleblackcauldron.com however though I used to get a lot of customers from abroad that has now died off and most of my customers are from the UK.

So I want to concentrate on the UK market as my first part of world domination so should I go for this littleblackcauldron.co.uk

Get them both because business overseas could pick up.

When I consider buying domains for a business I try and get both if they are available. That way you are covering yourself for any future events that might happen.

Domains are cheap enough to register these days anyways.

You can always point the .co.uk at the .com and when building back links use the .co.uk instead of the .com

Also a vote for both

I think what Nicole is asking is which one to choose as her main domain name. She has both and has until now been using the .com and having registered .co.uk recently, is considering which to use as the main one, thus the other will be set to forward/point to it.

As far as I am aware her hosting server is in a UK data centre.

Ok then it's quite a simple fix.

Go into webmaster tools and set the location to the UK.

That way you don't need to mess about changing anything.

That is what I meant Sandra

Probably the .com because it's a bit of a mouthful as it is.

When starting out I would have loved the "Witchcraft" domain name, but alas somene has brought it and it just sits there, or hedgewitch cottage sounds good.

But Littleblackcauldron.co.uk sounds better

the .com is on my current website and I shall have it pointed at the .co.uk domain once it has been released. That way I can cover all angles

And I have just realised I have bee rambling on about nothing in particular

[IP2]

I too would suggest using the .co.uk
When showing up in search, it shows you are UK based at a glance, assuming you are aiming for a UK market of course!?

Do you make money from "Little black cauldrons ".?

If not then I suggest you choose something more related to the products you wish to sell.
