Why choose the .IO ?
io
 

The .io extension is the official tld of the Indian Ocean British Territory.
Currently there are over 1 million domains registered in .io.


The .io tld is open to all and is especially popular with startups because of its connotation with "input/output" in computing, which is often used to describe the interaction with users of a service or application.


Regarding search engines optimisation (SEO), there is no indicative difference between the .io domain name and .com in terms of ranking on Google, but it gives a more dynamic image which can be a real advantage when an internet use has to choose between several results.
