<strong>personal<\/strong>. After all, what\u2019s more personal than <em>me<\/em>? This domain extension offers a lot of versatility for websites names, personal blogs and resumes, call-to-action websites, and businesses seeking to emphasize personalized marketing.<\/p><p>But what is the .me domain? Where did it come from? And why should you use it? Let\u2019s take a tour of one of the internet\u2019s favorite domain extensions!<\/p><p><strong>If you\u2019re ready to register your .me domain now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/instant-domain-search.php\">start your domain search now<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p><h2 id=\"the-origin-of-me\">The Origin of .me<\/h2><p>The .me domain was initially assigned as the <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/learn\/seo\/cctlds\">country code top-level domain<\/a> (ccTLD) to Montenegro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icann.org\/resources\/board-material\/prelim-report-2007-09-11-en\">in 2007 by ICANN<\/a>. ICANN (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icann.org\/\">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers<\/a>) is a non-profit organization in charge of managing the global Domain Name System.<\/p><p>But what\u2019s a country code top-level domain? A ccTLD is a domain reserved and used for a country, sovereign state, or territory identified with a certain country code. So in the case of .me, that\u2019s Montenegro. However, ccTLDs affect the search engine results &#8211; if you\u2019re browsing in a certain country, you\u2019re more likely to get results with ccTLDs associated with that region.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_821\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-821\" style=\"width: 767px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/me-domain-montenegro-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/me-domain-montenegro-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/me-domain-montenegro-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/me-domain-montenegro-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/me-domain-montenegro.jpg 974w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-821\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">While Montenegro is beautiful, you probably want to reach a broader, global audience!<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>So how come .me is being used globally? Herein lies the secret to this domain\u2019s charm.<\/p><p>Although it\u2019s technically a ccTLD, it\u2019s actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seroundtable.com\/google-cctld-generics-16729.html\">treated as a gTLD<\/a> by search engines, Google ads, and ICANN. A <a href=\"https:\/\/whatis.techtarget.com\/definition\/gTLD-generic-top-level-domain-name\">gTLD<\/a>, which stands for generic top-level domain, is the last level of a fully-qualified domain name and gets the best SEO treatment when it comes to search engines. gTLDs are not restricted to geo-targeting like ccTLDs. In other words, they come up in web searches <em>globally<\/em>. The most popular examples of gTLDs are <strong>.com<\/strong>, <strong>.net<\/strong>, <strong>.org<\/strong>, <strong>.info<\/strong>, and so on.<\/p><p>The .me domain started being treated as a gTLD rather than a ccTLD by algorithms as it was treated that way by web users and webmasters. This isn\u2019t the only case in which a ccTLD is treated as a gTLD &#8211; whenever a ccTLD becomes alluring and popular with internet users, it migrates in status as a gTLD. Some other examples of ccTLDs which are treated as gTLDs are <strong>.io<\/strong> (initially assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory) and <strong>.tv<\/strong> (initially assigned to Tuvalu).<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/what-is-io\/\">The .io domain<\/a><\/strong> is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) which was assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory in 1997. So, in reality, its origin has nothing to do with the now-adapted <strong>input\/output<\/strong> abbreviation. It\u2019s simply a ccTLD domain &#8211; a domain which is normally used and reserved for a <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/learn\/seo\/cctlds\">country, sovereign state, or a dependent territory which is identified with a country code<\/a>. Generally in SEO, using a ccTLD gives search engines the message that your website is targeting a particular country or region.<\/p><p>The question that remains is: how did this domain get to be treated as a gTLD?<\/p><h2 id=\"why-you-should-use-me\">Why You Should Use .me<\/h2><p>The <strong>.me<\/strong> domain extension has many benefits which have made it popular among internet users and sent it to the global gTLD category.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s look at what\u2019s so special about .me and why you should use it!<\/p><h3 id=\"me-ideal-personalized-marketing\">.me Is Ideal for Personalized Marketing and Branding<\/h3><p>As many big brands today are aware, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/psychology-personalization\">personalized advertising is key to success<\/a> in today\u2019s global market. Big surprise &#8211; people <em>like<\/em> being treated like they\u2019re human! Go figure. The .me domain allows businesses to emphasize on the personalized service of their brand. Businesses and individuals also use it for personalized email accounts!<\/p><p>Just think about it &#8211; you can come up with a lot of smart and cheeky marketing messages in your domain name. Some examples would be <em>check.me<\/em>, <em>follow.me<\/em>, <em>buy.me<\/em>, and so on. These types of call-to-action URL addresses can really help motivate your potential clients.<\/p><p>The .me domain is also a great way to display your resume, blog, or website and establish your personal online presence. It\u2019s your website, so why not put an .me at the end of the domain?<\/p><h3 id=\"me-offers-versatility\">.me Offers a Lot of Versatility<\/h3><p>The .me domain offers versatility of two kinds: domain name creativity and domain name availability.<\/p><p>In terms of creativity, just think of how many marketable words end with <strong>me<\/strong>: <em>resume<\/em>, <em>home<\/em>, <em>name<\/em>, <em>time<\/em>\u2026 In fact, Time Magazine also owns the <a href=\"https:\/\/ti.me\">ti.me<\/a> domain, which leads directly to their .com homepage! You can also use phrases that end with <em>me<\/em>, like <em>bite.me<\/em>! Plus, you can invite your site visitors to contact you through a domain name that suggests it, like <em>message.me<\/em>!<\/p><p>Now let\u2019s talk about availability. Keep in mind that all gTLDs get treated the same way by search engines &#8211; so whether if a domain is a .com or .me doesn\u2019t matter &#8211; Google will treat it <em>the same<\/em>. However, there are a lot less available .com domains than .me domains. Therefore, you\u2019re much more likely to find and buy a .me domain!<\/p><p><strong>Ready to get started?
