When buying a domain, it’s important to understand that you must choose only Generic Top Level Domains (gTLD).

These domains can help you stay competitive in search engines and will also increase your brand reputation. Why? Because these domains don’t target specific countries and they are widely known.

According to Google, these are the Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) recommended if you want to compete worldwide.
