Always though .com would be the better domain to go for, but with my niche being specialised advice to teachers in the UK, I'd have thought the .co.uk would be more appropriate
using a .co.uk domain will give google the signals that you are targeting uk mainly....and give the customers the confidence you are servicing the uk...and using uk english...
you can host your domain here, so change the name servers to point to wa...
but you cannot transfer the domain here to pay wa yearly for the domain as they cannot sell them...
so when choosing the domain, don't look at the discount price, look at hte renewal price and go by that as to what you will pay in the future to reduce nasty shocks....
good luck Andy

Thank you so much, Phil.
That's the reassurance I was seeking.
Good shout on the renewal price as well.
Greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
If you want to just focus on Local Marketing that is within the UK only that would be OK.
Why restricted yourself to one area why not allow your website to be seen worldwide and benefit on a larger base.
if this is the case then a .com would be best
Hi
If your audience covers UK only, then yes you might as well.
However to host at WA, you need to point your domain to WA servers vs transfers as they are not supported. If needing further details the how-to, kindly let us know.
Thanks Abie & AJ,
So, if I've understood you correctly there, you're saying a .co.uk domain bought elsewhere and transferred to WA might not be supported by the WA servers....??
You can host okay but it has got to be pointed vs transferred.
You may transfer or point to WA servers (if transferring domain has to end in .com, .net or .org. (in your case .co.uk so it is no)
To update your domain DNS settings to point to WA. Here are the DNS settings.
ns1.mywahosting.com
ns2.mywahosting.com
These settings will be updated within your domain registrar (where you purchased your domain) after the transfer has taken place.

My niche is uk-based, so should my domain be .co.uk too.?

Hey
I have preference for dot com but recently bought a dot rodeo because it suits my locality, so I understand your cause.
Wishing you continued success.
At least I know I'm not doing anything detrimental for myself now, and that it can be hosted here too.
Many thanks Lula.

Hey Andy,
The best advice I can offer you is this... do NOT wander away from Kyle's training and DO make sure to follow his EVERY step so that you succeed sooner.
Chasing shiny objects is soooo easy to do, so be sure to stay focused to ONLY Kyle's instructions.
Once you get experience under your belt, then you can start to wander a bit.
Hope you find this helpful.

You have just describe your niche. Like my you have too many interests. You will have to pick one. I have a website dedicated to personal development and another too personal resilience with focus on emergency preparedness,
Don't let not being able to decide on a specific niche stop you from building your website. Design your site around whatever interest you the most right now.
I find it very helpful to look at other members websites. Magistudios has a website for each product or serice he is promoting. His training series on "football snack helments" is particularly useful because it take you through the entire marketing practice from chooseing your niche to monitizing the niche. Good Luck, Bill
Wow.
Thank you Bill.
Thank you so very much.
I guess I needed someone with experience to just offer that high level perspective, and then to set me in the right direction.
God bless you, and thank you for taking the time to write.
May I wish you all the very best in return.
Regards, Andy
You have to come up with your niche and website name pretty early. They kind of spring it on you. From what you said about yourself, I think some type of niche that has to do with finances or financial planning. Due to all the knowledge you have and how long you've been doing it. You trained people in this, so you could def speak as an authority on the subject. I'm just not sure what type of services or products you could offer. But you literally have so many options on which niche you can pick. It could be something you've always been interested in, even if you don't know much about it. After research, you'll begin to learn everything.
Many thanks Geoffrey.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
And you are absolutely correct of course.
I think I’m closing in.......
All the very best to you.
