gent-domain

The top-level domain .gent represents a clear country-specific reference to the city of Ghent in the region of Flanders, Belgium.

The domain is a so-called geographical top-level domain and has thus been able to benefit from the importance of the city of Ghent, as the capital of the province of East Flanders, since its introduction.

The city of Ghent

Initially, Ghent developed as a loose association of various Celtic settlements, but then flourished, especially in the Middle Ages, and became an important hub for the cloth trade throughout Europe.
In addition to this, the city was also called a flower city due to the numerous flower cultivations from the local breeding farms and still bears this name today.
At the present time the city has just under a quarter of a million inhabitants.

Use of the domain

Using the domain for the company's operations thus provides existing and future customers with an orientation and allocation to the Ghent location.

Since Ghent is the capital of the region of East Flanders, the domain is not only suitable for a discussion and identification with the city, but also with the province of East Flanders. Accordingly, the domain can also become interesting for specific uses in the province.

Accordingly, the use of the domain by an authority is logical and recommendable.
It is also conceivable that the domain could be used for cultural institutions such as theaters. The unique domain extension allows identification and differentiation from other cultural institutions.
Using the domain would also make sense for a flower shop or landscaping company, since the city is literally the city of flowers.

Thus, the geographical top-level domain .gent is ideally suited to promote recognition. Furthermore, the domain provides direct access to Ghent as a location, especially for cultural offers, official bodies or presentations of companies and enterprises operating there.
