Is the .IO domain name suitable for website use (the cost of building a personal website is high)

Snail saw a netizen re-entering a website a few days ago, using the .IO domain name. This domain name was often used by some geek blogs in the V2 community. So Snail went to check and saw that there were indeed a lot of good prefixes that could be registered, but what kept me away was that the price of the .IO domain name suffix was a bit high. Even if there are currently some domain name merchants active, it costs about 200 yuan a year. So we need to consider carefully when choosing this suffix.

First, what is the .IO domain name?

The .IO domain name is the same as the .ME domain name introduced by Snail yesterday. They are both country-specific domain names. The io domain name refers to the country-specific domain name of the British Indian Ocean Territory. For a specific introduction to this territory, we can refer to the introduction on Baidu Encyclopedia. We can take a look at the geographical and historical conditions. However, the viewing experience for .IO domain names is better than that of .WIN, .SHOP, etc. we have seen, but the price is not cheap.

Second, multiple optional prefixes are costly

For this high-priced domain name suffix, it is conceivable that there should be more prefixes to choose from. After all, not many people will register for such an expensive domain name. After all, costs still need to be considered. If we need it, we have to take the cost into consideration. Of course, I haven't seen anything that costs just a few dozen yuan in the first year. They all cost nearly 200 yuan. The same is true for renewals.

So, even though there are many double-pin and special character prefixes to choose from when we choose, we need to consider the cost issue.

Third, suggestions for personal website selection

Just like the netizen Snail knows, he should have more than one .IO domain name, but it only has one purpose for building a website. Others should be investments. He is better at domain name investment, so he has the capital to register so many domain names. However, if we use it to build a website, if you have no problem with the cost and have a good optional prefix, then there is no harm in registering a website. If we consider budget, then don't use this domain name. You can use a regular COM or .ME domain name.
