.ph domains – philippines domain names
In 2016, more than 44,000,000 people used the internet in the Philippines, somewhere around 43% of the total country population. 52% of Filipinos had a computer with high speed Internet connection at home, though a survey showed the average internet speed of 4.5 Mbps and small percent of users over 30 years.
This leads to conclude that the utilisation of internet in the country is still expecting growth and will lead to greater demand for website domains with .ph extension.
In the event that your market is the Philippines, getting a .PH domain will give you an edge, specially considering search engines do prioritize local websites.
