Your domain is the first thing customers see — on a business card, on Facebook, and in Google results. A well-chosen domain is easy to remember and reinforces your brand. Here's how to choose one.
Difference between .mk, .com.mk and .com
.mk
The national domain of Macedonia. It's short and immediately says that you're a Macedonian business. Google uses the extension as a signal that the site is intended for users in Macedonia, which helps with local searches.
.com.mk
A subdomain under .mk, traditionally for commercial entities. It functions the same as .mk, but the address is longer. Many companies register it as an addition to the .mk domain.
.com
International domain. A good choice if you sell outside of Macedonia or are planning an international brand. Registration of a .com domain costs 1,200 den. per year.
Which domain to choose?
- You work mainly in Macedonia → .mk.
- You have international clients → .com, and preferably .mk.
- You want to protect your brand → register .mk and .com and redirect one to the other.
Tips for a good domain name
- Briefly — fewer letters, fewer typing errors.
- Easy to pronounce — test: if you say it on the phone, will they spell it correctly?
- No dashes or numbers — are difficult to remember and often confused.
- Latin — avoid letters that are transcribed differently (ж, ш, ч → zh, sh, ch). Choose the most common variant.
- Check social networks. — ideally the same name is free on both Facebook and Instagram.
Common mistakes
- Register the domain in the name of an employee or agency instead of the company.
- Forget about renewal — an expired domain can be registered by someone else.
- A name too similar to an existing brand.
