When we think of the economic value of a product or service, we generally do it based on the Benefits which reports to us.

The domain, despite being a central element in a web project, coincidentally it is the one that costs less money.

Let’s first see what a domain is, what function it has, what advantages it has and when you have all this information, I will show you the specific price of having a domain with the .mx and .com.mx extensions.

get ready because you’ll be surprised when you see how cheap they are!

What is a domain?

A domain is nothing more than a brand namealthough it has some peculiarities.

When starting a business project, it is usual to have the brand of your company and your products registered. In this way, users will identify you through that brand.

You can also define your brand graphically with a logo, typography, etc. But the essential thing is that your brand is registered and you have the patent for the use of that brand and/or product.

If you have ever had to register your company, your brand, patent a product, … you will know that these are procedures that generally consume a large amount of resources. You are going to have to make a good investment both in time and money and efforts.

But the reward is well worth it. With this investment you will get users to identify you, your services or your products. Not only that. You will need to be identified unequivocally and unequivocally.

You and only you you are that brand You and only you you can provide that service. You and only you you will be in charge of supplying that product.

What function does a domain have?

It has exactly the same function as the registration of a company, a brand, a product or a service… The function of a domain is uniquely and unequivocally identify a web project.

The domain is the name with which users will identify your web project. They will use the domain to send you emails to @yourdomainname.ext and they will also use it to click on it in Google and enter your website.

As not all users use search engines like Google, they also have the option of typing the domain name in the address bar of their browser and thus accessing your website.

Differences and similarities between trademark registrations and domain registrations

Let’s see what are the differences and similarities between registering trademarks and .

We have already seen the first similarity and it is the identification functionality.

The first difference to note is that most of the trademarks are registered with a national dimension. Domains, however, will have a international dimension.

Any domain you register it will be unique in the world. No one else can have it.

Of course, keep in mind that the domain name is made up of two sections: name and extension. The combination is what will be unique worldwide.

For example, the domain is unique in the world; but there may be other domains with the name of followed by another extension. For example we can find .mx, .es or .mx.

Each of them has the same name but a different extension. Each of them is a different domain.

On the other hand there will be the difference in the time it takes to complete the registration. In domains, registration is done immediately or within a few hours, while in the case of trademarks, as you know, it is a process that can take months to complete.

Another difference between registering a trademark or a domain is Disponibility. As trademarks are available nationally, sometimes registration in that region will require you to have a physical presence in that geographical area and therefore your company will have to have a headquarters in that country.

Although in some territorial domains the same rule could be applied, the most common is that this is not what applies in the domains.

A domain can be registered by any person/company from any country (except for those that for strategic or legislative reasons have been restricted to specific entities such as government institutions or public bodies).

Domain types

We have to differentiate between domains that have a functional extension (known as generic domains or gTLDs) and those that have a territorial extension.

Domains with functional extension are domains that end in:

• .com if they are to be used for commercial purposes
• .edu those that identify educational centers such as universities for example.
• .org those that identify non-profit entities.
• .net for projects focused on technology and telecommunications.
• And so on.

Territorial domains they are the ones that tell your users in which territory you are interested in acting. We can find domains with extension:

• .is for Spain.
• .eu for Europe.
• .mx for Mexico.
• .lat for Latin America.
• And so on.

Due to the proliferation of web projects (more than 1,000 million websites have been created since the 80s after the appearance of the Internet) and knowing that a domain only exists once in the world, we have entered a shortage of domains. This shortage has had three consequences:

1. 1. Loss of sense of extensions Of domain. If a user does not find the domain that interests him in the appropriate extension, he will search and register that name with another extension. In this way we will find .net domains that are not related to the technology sector or user blogs that do not want to sell anything but they use , academies and training centers that register .com domains because it is the best known extension, etc…

1. 1. Proliferation of new extensions: Recently, new domain extensions have been created that are not limited to the 3 letters that were traditionally used for domain extensions. If you are curious, you can see the extensions available on the .

1. Cybersquatting: It consists of registering a domain using a word that is linked to an existing brand. In this way, the legitimate owner of that trademark will be prevented from registering that domain.

For the latter case, there are mechanisms that will allow the owner to claim that domain, however, they usually require costs and times that are not always within the reach of small businesses.

If you allow me some advice, I would tell you to plan well in which areas you want to position yourself, define your scope of action and the market you focus on and register the domain or domains that have the extension of that geographical area.

Add to these domains the functional domains that are suitable for your project, such as a .com domain if you are dedicated to selling a product or service.

Why am I interested in registering a domain in Mexico?

A very important reason is that Mexico is a country with 129 million inhabitants.

In addition it is a emerging economy and that means that it is in the process of growth and there are sectors in which you can find your space for action.

If you are interested in positioning yourself in Mexico, you are certainly interested in having your domain registered both with extension .mx as with extension .com.mx.

Both extensions identify the companies that work with users from Mexico and those that are interested in operating in that geographical area. If you had to opt for just one, I advise you to choose the .mx extension.

But as little as you can, register both to avoid encountering that dreaded cybersquat that I explained to you before.

Are you interested in having tumarca.mxyour mark.com.mx but you are also interested in domains that contain those keywords that link to the objective of your web project. They can be generic words combined (or not) with the name of your product and/or company.

If you are in the process of choosing the right domain for your website, you have some ideas in the article we have published about it.

How much does a domain cost in Mexico?

As I told you at the beginning of this blog post, the price depends on the value of the service or product you buy.

To have a web project activated you need 3 services:

• • The website: again the price is going to fluctuate a lot. There are big differences between those who make the website themselves and those who ask a developer to create it. So that we can establish a price, we could say that in the best case it would be around $500 if you ask a third party to do the development.

• The Dominion: The price will depend on the domain extension you choose but will fluctuate between approximately $10-30 per year.

There is an investment that is also usually made in web projects and it is the one related to web positioning.

To get well positioned in search engines like Google, work is required from specialized companies that will have rates that will hardly be less than $200 and will do a job that will last for a few months. Therefore, you would have to multiply that amount by the months in which you have that positioning service.

Taking these values ​​as reference, the price of the domain represents less than 5% of the cost that implies the annual investment in a web project. However, as I mentioned before, using the domain is an essential element to give you authority and position yourself in a territory like Mexico.

If you are interested in checking if the domain you are interested in is free, click on our .
