Why Choose a .coop Domain Name ?
.COOP Domain Registration (.coop):
Global domains such as .com are the most commonly seen around the Internet, however here at Nominate we wish to highlight the advantages of international domains and .coop domains for both personal and professional use.
Making the Right Choice
With the hundreds of extensions and combinations made available from the advent of international domains .coop domains reinforces your presence on the world-wide web, but it doesn't stop there. When you have the perfect name in mind, it isn't easy to change. Usually you'll end up adding pointless hyphens or numbers just to get as close as possible. To stop this, take advantage of the many names still available in extensions.
Creating a Global Customer Base
Registering a domain can help you create a global customer base. The way in which it does this is by using a ccTLD that the people will trust. If an individual from Cooperative Associations sees a domain with .coop, they would be more likely to trust the company than if it was .com. It also boosts the ranking of the webpage on search engines. An example of this would be with google.fr. It would pick up .fr domains more easily.
Notes: Don't put "www" or the domain name suffix, ie. ".coop", Thus for "www.nominate.coop" enter "nominate" and no more.
Please remember that domain names can only contain the following letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

E-mail redirection and web redirection for domain names are available as a free option.
