Voor bedrijven en particulieren in Nederland komt de keuze meestal neer op .nl of .com, en soms op beide. Beide hebben duidelijke voordelen, en de juiste keuze hangt af van je doelgroep en je doelstellingen. In deze gids worden ze met elkaar vergeleken, zodat je met een gerust hart een keuze kunt maken.<\/p>\n<h2>De voordelen van .nl<\/h2>\n<p>De .nl-extensie is het landcode-domein voor Nederland en geeft direct aan dat uw website Nederlands is en relevant voor een Nederlands publiek. Dit kan vertrouwen wekken bij lokale bezoekers en kan bijdragen aan een betere zichtbaarheid in lokale zoekresultaten. De belangrijkste voordelen zijn onder meer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lokaal vertrouwen:<\/strong> Nederlandse bezoekers herkennen een .nl-adres meteen als een lokaal adres.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lokale SEO:<\/strong> Een domein met landcode kan de relevantie van zoekresultaten in het Nederlands vergroten.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beschikbaarheid:<\/strong> Korte, pakkende namen zijn onder .nl vaak nog beschikbaar, in tegenstelling tot onder .com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>De voordelen van .com<\/h2>\n<p>De .com-extensie is de meest bekende domeinnaam ter wereld en straalt betrouwbaarheid en internationaliteit uit. Als uw doelgroep zich buiten Nederland bevindt, of als u gewoon de meest bekende extensie wilt, is .com een uitstekende keuze. De voordelen zijn onder meer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wereldwijde erkenning:<\/strong> Overal verwachten en vertrouwen mensen .com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internationaal bereik:<\/strong> het bindt je niet aan \u00e9\u00e9n enkel land.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standaardveronderstelling:<\/strong> Veel bezoekers typen automatisch .com in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Waarom veel mensen voor beide kiezen<\/h2>\n<p>Je hoeft niet per se slechts \u00e9\u00e9n domeinnaam te kiezen. Een veelgebruikte aanpak is om zowel de .nl- als de .com-domeinnaam te registreren, de ene als je hoofdadres te gebruiken en de andere daarheen door te verwijzen. Zo bescherm je je merk, vang je bezoekers op die de verkeerde extensie invoeren en voorkom je dat een concurrent de versie inpikt die je niet hebt geregistreerd. Voor de meeste Nederlandse bedrijven is dit een kleine, rendabele investering.<\/p>\n<h2>Hoe neem je een beslissing?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Voornamelijk Nederlands publiek:<\/strong> begin met .nl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internationaal of online-first:<\/strong> begin met .com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wil je maximale bescherming:<\/strong> Registreer ze allebei en stuur de ene door naar de andere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Welk adres je ook als hoofdadres kiest, zorg ervoor dat je dit op een consistente manier onder de aandacht brengt, zodat je merkbeeld duidelijk blijft.<\/p>\n<h2>Problemen oplossen<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gewenste naam geregistreerd op .com:<\/strong> Kijk eens op .nl, misschien is het daar nog beschikbaar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ik weet niet zeker welke ik moet promoten:<\/strong> Kies \u00e9\u00e9n primaire optie en leid de andere om.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bezorgd over verwarring tussen merken:<\/strong> Zet beide uitbreidingen vast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Hulp nodig?<\/h2>\n<p>Als u de beschikbaarheid wilt controleren of een doorverwijzing wilt instellen tussen uw .nl- en .com-domein, kan ons supportteam u via de livechat helpen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the first decisions when starting a website is which domain extension to use.
