The abbreviation "Inc." stands for the company type "Incorporated", which is used today by many companies – especially in the USA. But other nations, such as Australia, China or India, are not unfamiliar with this form of company either. In fact, Inc. is likely to be associated with companies in most parts of the world – thanks to Inc. companies such as Facebook, Alphabet and Co. .INC domains can be registered in over 190 countries, a fact that illustrates the internationality of this new gTLD
.INC is not necessarily for Inc. only
INC belongs to the group of business TLDs – this is not difficult to find out. However, the domain extension differs from the other new gTLDs of this type: While other business TLDs are subject to strict registration conditions (e.g. .GMBH demands proof for the designation as a limited liability entity), .INC does not have any such regulations. This means that anyone wishing to register an .INC domain does not necessarily have to operate a company with the corresponding legal form.
The registration of an .INC domain should still not be possible for everyone in practice – as intended by the registry. With a uniform premium price that only fits into a company's budget, cybersquatting cases should be avoided from the outset.
.INC offers many additional benefits
Another fact that also sets .INC apart from other business TLDs: Intercap markets the domain extension as a complete business solution and therefore offers registrants many attractive benefits, such as discounts on Google Ads, Indeed or Vistaprint.
