Does regional domain extension (e.g. .pk, .uk, .ae, .be) make any difference?
Most countries now have their own top domains, such as .uk for the UK or .fr for France, .pk for Pakistan. The rules for buying domain names under each country top domain vary from country to country; always check before you buy! Some countries have essentially sold their cyber-rights to enterprising entrepreneurs. For instance, anyone can pick up a .to domain name (Tonga) or a .cc domain name (Cocos (Keeling) Islands) and most people are not even aware that these were intended to be country-level top domains in the first place! Some companies are selling sub-domains of memorable domain names. For instance, you can buy a sub-domain of .uk.com if you could not get the .uk domain name you wanted. These are NOT official, internationally sanctioned top domains, just companies essentially chopping up their own domain names into smaller pieces.
