Are you looking for a catchy domain name? Maybe you want something a little different from a regular .com address? Or maybe you want a name that’s related to the Middle East? Whichever way, a .me domain could be a perfect choice.
In this article, we’ll answer the question of what is a .me domain? Then we’ll explain these forms of extensions more generally. Finally, we’ll show you how to use .me domains for best results.
.me Domain Names
Once, it seemed like almost every website used a .com domain name. Now, great alternatives like .me domains and .co domains are appearing everywhere. But what is a .me domain name? In simple terms, it’s any domain name (or website address) that ends with .me. We call this last part the domain extension or the top-level domain.
What is a Domain Extension?
As we’ve just seen, domain extensions form the final part of domain names. Our own website is tasjeel.ae, meaning our domain extension is .ae. Top-level domain names, such as .com and .net, don’t relate to a single country. This makes top-level names perfect for businesses that trade internationally.
Other domain extensions are called country code top-level domains (cctld). These relate to one country. For example, .ae relates to the UAE, and .uk relates to the UK. These domain extensions are great for businesses that focus mainly on one country or region.

What Does .me Stand for in a URL?
The .me domain is actually the country code top-level domain for Montenegro – a small country in Southeast Europe. But it’s popular all over the world – and especially in the Middle East. Wikipedia’s article on .me domains covers how the domain was set up and structured.
How to Use .me Domains
To understand how to use .me domains, you need to understand the 3 things they can represent.
The Personal Touch
First, the .me domain extension simply looks like the word ‘me’. This makes it perfect for businesses based around one person. It can also be a good choice if you sell products or services designed for individuals.
Popular in the Middle East
Even though it’s actually the country code top-level domain for Montenegro, .me is very popular in the Middle East. In fact, many people believe .me is for a Middle East domain name! Because of this, Middle Eastern customers recognise .me domain names as being relevant to their region.
Domain Hacks
You can also use the .me domain extension creatively to make a phrase. For example, date.me would make a great name for a dating site because it looks like ‘date me’. This is a good example of a domain hack. It can be a great way to get a memorable URL if other choices are already taken. Acting as a call to action without the user even entering the website.
