.com or .mx domain, which one is best for me?

“Which domain is best for me?”. Choosing the domain name for your company is vitally important for the success of your site, but if you have doubts about which ending is better (.com / .mx), here we will help you know the differences between them.

First of all, you should know that all Internet domains operate within the DNS (Domain Name Systems), which could be defined as a book full of addresses. In this book, the .com and .mx domains are known as top-level domains, which means that they are considered the most important within the domain hierarchy. Now we will explain each of them.

.com domains are derived from the word company, so they were mainly used by online businesses and have become globalized for any type of website, making them  the most used domain extension in the world. One of the advantages of having a presence on the Internet is that, as we mentioned before, they are very popular and the most used. This makes the website's memory practically instantaneous.

ADVANTAGES

Popularity
Ideal for companies or shops
It applies to all countries and is economical
You will have a greater digital presence

The ending mx stands for Mexico, so this is a domain used to refer to business pages that are registered in Mexico. You could use this ending to identify the region of your company and if you intend to market in a specific region, this is a good ending. It can help a site rank in those searches related specifically at a local level.

ADVANTAGES

It is not as popular as .com, so you will have a better chance of finding your free domain.
Helps identify that your site is from Mexico
It can benefit your site's SEO if you sell within Mexico
Google which is the main search engine in Mexico, has a tendency to rank .mx domains better in this country, however it will also depend on the quality of your content and your SEO.

In conclusion

1. The biggest difference between these domains is that .mx may present restrictions when selling in countries other than Mexico. If it is a commercial company or a service that you intend to make known anywhere in the world, then it is better to use .com.
2. .com domains are generally used for commercial, corporate, business, or personal websites.
3. The .com ending is the most popular, so your domain name may already be registered.
4. The .mx extension is more expensive but could help you rank better in Mexico.
