Which domain to choose?

Question

Domain name market

Hello.
Please tell me, I have an online store and two domains are registered on it in the ru and com zones, which one is better to leave.
We need to buy an SSL certificate and we don’t know which domain is better to buy it for.
Please tell me which domain is better to leave?
Which is better for SEO two domains or one?
If one is better to do disconnect from the site or make a redirect?
Thank you!

Answer 1

for SEO, one is
better than com
if RU is a TypeIn domain - it’s better to redirect it to com
and com, of course, from a foreign registrar (foreign - outside the CIS)

Answer 2

Leave both and the redirect. Because $10 a year is not money. And cut off the most likely cybersquatters.
Although it depends a lot on the domain and branding, what kind of buyer you are counting on, etc.

Answer 3

Use com if you are an international online store
. Use ru if you are an online store for Russia or the CIS.
Renew both domains every year. So that competitors do not outbid do not harm you.
SSL certificates are free. Check with your host.
I recommend reading the article about choosing a domain . It says at the end what problems may be after the purchase.
