What can a .scot domain do for you?
Whether you’re a Scottish business, you’re targeting a Scottish audience, or you just love all things Scottish, a .scot domain will help you make your ties clear and reinforce your branding.
If you’re a Scottish business or you’re selling Scottish products, you should be shouting it from the highlands. People love supporting local businesses – in fact, 71% of Scottish consumers said they prefer using websites with a .scot domain. So, what are you waiting for?
The digital world is a crowded space and everyone’s got a .com or .uk domain. Get yourself a .scot domain and be distinctive with a domain name that’s different. Plus, there are so many more options available, so you’ll be sure to find the ideal one for you.
As a more unique domain, .scot has much better availability. If you can’t bag your preferred .com domain, why not choose a .scot domain instead? This way, you won’t have to compromise on your preferred branding to secure that elusive .com domain extension.
Stand out from competitors and strengthen your brand with a .scot domain. Whatever the line of business is, your domain can be another way to promote your “Scottishness” and show you’re proud to be part of a rich community.
How to choose a .scot domain name
Wondering how to pick the best .scot domain name for your website? Here are some tips to get you started.
Length matters
Domains can be up to 63 characters long, but super-long domains aren’t very user-friendly. Shorter domain names are easier to remember and reduce the risk of misspellings.
Avoid numbers
Using numbers can cause confusion as users may not know whether to type them out or use digits. If a number is needed, consider registering a .scot domain for each format.
Keep it simple
Complex words can make it difficult for users to find you. Use simple, memorable words. If this isn’t possible, you should register multiple domains that cover misspellings.
No special characters
You can’t include special characters like underscores or exclamation points in your .scot domain name. Hyphens can be used, but not as the first or last character of the domain.
