Pros & Cons
of Cyprus Domain

Pros:
Better for SEO targeting purposes
If you want to target people in Cyprus, then you should care about Local SEO. Google uses domains as a guide for SEO. If your domain name states the country you want to target, then Google is more likely to rank your website higher for searches from that country. Therefore, when someone from Cyprus searches for your services or products in your niche, your website will be right there.
Availability of domains to choose from is much higher
Online local markets in Cyprus are not very competitive yet. Therefore, there is a higher chance of finding the domain name you want, that will best fit your company. This is particularly appealing if you have a business name with elements shared by other businesses as well.
Establishing authority
Websites with a .cy at the end give an impression of a more serious, authoritative, and trustworthy business. The way your prospect perceives your company has a major impact on their decision to work with you or purchase from you. Therefore a .cy domain name will help you establish authority and build trust between you and your prospects during the first contact.
A domain name ending in .cy gives you reliability in the market, especially if you’re just starting off.
Direct information about your business in your domain
Connected to authority, trust is built when people see something familiar. Seeing a domain name ending in .cy shows prospects that you are local. This in turn, establishes your first commonality – your location – which in turn builds trust and optimism for your business.
You can predict where your customers are coming from
You obviously always know who you are targeting. However, with a country specific domain name you also get a fair idea of who is seeing your website. Therefore, you can now make your services even more specific, maybe even change your website’s language to Greek. Knowledge is power. And in this case knowledge used effectively means more business at your door.
Cons:
If you wish to target people outside of Cyprus, a cy. domain will limit you
If your business is located in Cyprus but you aim to target people internationally, or in Cyprus and Greece, then a .cy domain might not be the best option since it will limit you.
Time consuming registering process
The process of registering a .cy domain might be a little hectic and time consuming because of all the information needed to get one. The government decides on regulations and how to register a .cy domain. This might be a limiting factor for many; however, the good news is that we are here to take some of the burden off your back.
There’s a learning curve when it comes to setting it up
Setting up a .cy domain name the right way, means you will have to use some Local SEO practices. If your domain name targets people in Cyprus, but your whole website is generic and does not use SEO’s best practices to target locals, then you are using a fishing rod with the bait.
Therefore, you might need to consider investing some time in learning how to utilize Local SEO to your advantage or hire experts to do it for you!
