Buying A .Co.Th Web Name

[sgunn65]

I want to set up a thai based business which will cater to a mainly thai based customer base. So I need a .co.th name. Can anyone tell me where I can buy this?

You need an organisation registered in Thailand

you need a co ltd, not a ltd partnership. You can buy .in.th with a work permit. I own several:)

Documents Domain Name Registration. Co.th.

Documents required for registration of domain names under. Co.th can be considered a second model.

Eแ slows to a registered domain name is based on the name of the organization.

• Domain names must conform, is a part. Or shrink from the name of the organization.
• One organization can register a domain name can only name.

• Organization registered in Thailand
  Document: Certificate, ใbp.po. 20 (VAT) or leaf safe. C .0401. (Commercial).
• International organizations. Agents must be registered companies in Thailand.
  Document.
  • Certificate of foreign companies.
  • Certificate of Company Registration Agencies in Thailand
  • Certificate accepted by foreign companies. This has two main ideas purport
    • Certification is a company registered in Thailand firm
    • Certificate of permission to use a foreign enterprise registered in the Domain Name abcd.co.th.

Documents Domain Name Registration. In.th.

Documents required for registration of domain names under. In.th can be considered a second model.

this one is good and cheap and fast and easy. i think 550 baht for the name, and then i think another 300 or so for whatever (can't remember, maybe vat and hosting). anyway, i have used them several times

i dont see what co.th does for u even if your target audience is thailand ???? Whats yr thinkiing on this

rgds mark

Why do you want a co.th, what benefits does it have ? only can imagine a co.th will be good if you have a product for locals.

Overall .co.th's are too often hosting extremely poor made websites.

It is always wrong to generalize

co.th domains only have the co.th in common and the fact that you need to have an orgnization in order to qualify to register one.

co.th's does not host anything. Any webhost in the world can host a co.th domain.

The quality of a website is simply not correlated to the last characters in the domain name.

sorry if you don't like it but it's the truth thais and webdesign is an impossible combination, even sites of large companies are amazingly poor...

here some very poor flash terror of the beer sing brewery http://www.boonrawd.co.th/

here some very poor 90s design of asia hotel group http://www.asiahotel.co.th/

here some poor 90s clutter design of bkk mass transit: http://www.bts.co.th/en/index.asp

here some amazingly amateurstic design of koh samui hospital: http://www.sih.co.th/

etc. etc. etc.

Whatever, just the first random picks from Google page 1 with search query .co.th.

Or let's do it the other way, can you show me 5 professional, well designed Thai websites ? I like to see them.

Seriously, the only good looking Thai site that I know, and use a lot is: http://www.f0nt.com/ (for typography lovers like me) but not sure it may be Wordpress theme.

oops, this is not a .co.th

[A_Traveller]

One can't help but notice that several major Thai companies use US, and even UK based web companies to provide their site designs [behind the scenes] and even allowing for the added possibilities for cross charging this footing with the feet is noticeable.

Re the Font site, yes it's a Wordpress theme, but on the Thai point try going to the 'Designer' and see what you think of his/her approach.

This one for instance is not bad: http://www.rueanthai-raminthra.co.th

To register a co.th you may also use http://www.dotarai.co.th/

^ But it's created by a French expat web site provider....

To the OP, the advantage of a 'co.th' is that a knowledgeable web user will appreciate that the corporate body is registered in Thailand, thereby giving some credibility.

Thanks for the replies.

My thinking around having a .co.th name is:

I am more likely to get the name I want

I thought it more likely to come up higher in page ranking from thai users

the business is targeted to Thai's and people living in Thailand; I am not looking for a global market at this stage

I am not that internet savvy so I may be wrong. I am certainly open to, and grateful for, any advice that will help.
