| Summary: | This study analyzes both the perceptions and the preferences of Romanian registrants of .ro
domain names, a fundamental element of Romania’s national digital identity. Through a
quantitative approach, with the help of an online survey, we have collected the responses of 50
registrants, users who have registered at least one .ro domain in their lifetime. The study analyzes
factors such as ease of registration process, the reasons of choosing .ro domains, preference over
other TLD and the general perception of the .ro extension.
The study shows the importance of .ro domain names as a powerful online marketing tool for
online branding, regional competitiveness and increasing user’s trust while also providing some
insight into the decision-making process regarding domain registration. These conclusions
contribute to a better understanding of the advantages of ccTLD’s, having relevant implications for
companies, individuals and digital marketing professionals interested in optimizing strategies on
the local online market. |
