• The world's most successful companies own .com domains. More international prestige is associated with .com domains than country code or any other top-level domain.

• Domain ownership is permanent and provides perpetual public relations and marketing benefits.
• Only one company can own the ers.com domain, and the opportunity to buy ers.com is very rare.
