A while ago they freed up the .be domain space. Heaps of people hoarded in off course and picked up what they could. I happened to get some pretty nice one word dictionary domains, but im wondering If I should renew them. Anybody out there renewing there using and renewing .be's?
I have never really understood why people would use domain extenions from countries which weren't relevant to them. Being from the UK, I only really look at .com .co.uk and .eu domains as they are relevant to me. I would also look at .tv I suppose if I was doing a tv site. But why would .be be useful? -Tim
Being Belgian is a reason, having a Belgian-related website, or expecting Belgian audience as well. Other suggested reasons were having a domain such as letit.be gonna.be, thiswill.be, etc.
No, you don't have to be a Belgian citizen. Since I cannot post the direct link here, do a search on Google for "register .be" , click the first site and click the "More than 100 international extensions" , there you will see: (Country) (Extension) (Local Requirements) Belgium .be None I don't promote anything, I've just edited this post since I was warned to don't write any links in my post.
I don't see a real huge future for english words .be's I think its great for the market in Belgium but, they will never become a huge ccTLD. like .nl or .co.uk or .de and those will never come close to the TLS's like .com, .net, .org, .info IMO
