Several new "GEO" TLDs are launching, as part of the overall new gTLD program, to allow anyone to register domains that represent a local geographic community. By registering a .ist or .ist domain, companies doing business in Istanbul, Turkey or organizations serving the surrounding communities of this amazing region, are able register shorter and more relevant domain names for their web site(s). Istanbul is known for its rich cultural history, large-scale architecture, and natural beauty. This city inhabits approximately 14 million people and is a popular travel destination and is somewhat of a trade hub. Dot ISTANBUL is the perfect extension for anyone living or working in Istanbul, or who is connected through travel or commerce.
If you have a presence in Turkey, specifically Istanbul, have Turkish customers, or plan to do business and/or market in Istanbul, there has never been a better time to register .ist and/or .ist domains for your brand.
Registering a .ist or .ist GEO TLD extension for your brand will help you grow your business, by letting your customers and prospects know exactly who you are, what you do, and where you do it. And it will help boost advertizing and help you promote your business (or yourself) more effectively online, increasing search rankings for your business. Be sure to get the .ist and/or .ist domain name(s) you want before it's taken.
