However, the domain you want to register as a mark should be distinctive and not descriptive, otherwise, the Patent Office will refuse registration. For example, shoes.com is possible as a domain but not as a trademark because describes the offered products.

If your domain is distinctive, for example, nike.com it can be a trademark too and you can stop easily domains such as nike-com.uk or nike-shoes.com etc. Based on your trademark registration.

The problem with domains is that they protect only for a particular area, for instance, example.com. However, this cannot help you if someone tries to register example.us or example.uk. Such registration will be perfectly possible and you will not be able to stop them even if they are used to similar goods or services. The only chance is if they operate in bad faith, trying to steal consumers from you by imitating your website.
