Hi Again,

checked can't find the link that explicitly said it but have verified that it is true and I was only half right! You cannot have your company name the same as a domain name **IF** you are a sole trade ie not a limited company. The reason for this is actually quite simple. You are not allowed to extend or contract the surname part of your trading name. So how do you get round it you call yourself "www.bobdesign.ch marley" you are then leaving as a bit of an outside part the marley ie your surname but the core remains valid.

What you cannot do is call yourself www.marley.ch as you are then not leaving marley unchanged.

As a GmbH or AG you CAN do this and I might have misled earlier for which I unreservedly retract the comment and apologise.

Rgds
