Get some of the best domain name extensions-MN for example. While this is Mongolia, how great is it to brand your Minnesota based company with this extension. Our government uses the following: www.leg.mn, www.house.mn, www.senate.mn. The Star/Trib has developed www.vita.mn and www.buzz.mn. We acquired www.ventureloanapp.mn and use that in addition to our .com address. This site has almost all the different country extensions available-in addition to the .coms, .net, .org, us, ect. They are adding new countries in the future, so check in often. At this time, you won't find this opportunity at the "traditional" outlets that you might think of for domain registration.

We really enjoy it and would highly recommend it.
