Both of them add credibility and professionalism to your web presence. You may perhaps consider registering a country-specific domain since they would provide higher search engine rankings for web pages. For example in Sweden a .se would be the preferred option, like smslåntopplista.se uses. These domains can only be registered be natives. It can also increase your presence through directories, which are often referenced by local web surfers. Despite crossing the global borders, there would still be some customers who would like to know the location of the company they’re dealing with. You can effortlessly display services targeted at shoppers within the same geographic domain.

On the other hand, this platform was not optimized to create the best presence and identity in the Blogosphere. Every Blogger URL, in past times, looked like “myblog.blogger.com”. In recent times you can now incorporate your own domain name into your blog. With the CNAME value configured with “www” value, the visitors would automatically be redirected to your blog site. Such a way you can now enjoy the benefits of free web space along with the appropriate domain name.

There is a limit on how long can a domain be. Minus the top level domain suffix a domain can be no longer than 63 characters.
