TLD: The End of the Address Defines the Trust

The Top-Level Domain (TLD) is the final part of an internet address (e.g., the .ch in curiaweb.ch). It plays a crucial role in your branding and your local SEO ranking in Switzerland.

There are three main types:

  • ccTLDs (Country Code): Country-specific extensions like .ch (Switzerland), .de (Germany), or .li (Liechtenstein). They signal a clear geographic relevance to Google.
  • gTLDs (Generic): Classics like .com (Commercial), .net, or .org. They are known worldwide and are not tied to a specific country.
  • new gTLDs: Modern extensions like .shop, .swiss, or .agency, which directly describe the purpose of your website.
Expert tip for Swiss companies: The extension .swiss is state-protected and is only granted to companies headquartered in Switzerland. It is considered a digital seal of quality for Swiss quality and integrity. We are happy to assist you with the application.
