What’s in a .com? Choosing Between Global TLDs and Caribbean Country-Code Domains

May 17, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

A domain name is not, as is often supposed, a neutral string of characters. It is a positioning statement. The choice between a .com, a .jm, a .tt, a .bb and the new generic extensions tells the market who the firm believes itself to be, and which market it believes it is competing in. For...
