Thread: Do you only go in for .com's?

I try to stick with .com's
I think they're the most popular and widely recognized on the internet.

Though .net's are fine, also.

I really don't care about the domain extention as long as I get the name i want.

Well put, however when possible you should try to get all of the TLDs for the name you choose. This way you dont need to worry about squatters.

I prefer .com and .net....If your site gets big and you own a name like gojo.yu and they purchase the .com and the .net then you will be out of a ton of money trying to get all the domains. I say start with the .com then to the .net then to whatever extension you would like.

I go .com at first..

when it comes to my company, I have

.com
.net
.info
.biz
.cn

I also have some .net and .org domains and some ccTLDs.

In my case its .com or .net or even .org sometimes. I buy domain names according to the keywords I want to rank for. If .com is not available I go for .net or .org. If I have to target a certain country, I dont even mind co.uk or co.in. I avoid .info and .me

Very often it is .net, or some suitable ccTLD.

.com's always help for branding and that was one mistake I had made with my music forum by taking a .net

This is an interesting thread....

I typically always go for a .com extention. I am actually pretty new to the domains, so it is really the only one that appeals to me. But, one of the other reasons why I picked .com is because when I show my family, if it is anything other than .com, they wouldn't believe me that I pay for it and that I run it. Haha. Not sure why, they just don't really understand the whole concept of these things.
