Kakashi2020 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 When it comes to TLD's .com is the most famous, it signifies prestige and stability when it comes to Domain. What Top Level Domain are you using? Why did you pick it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisTex Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 If the domain name is a brand (such as a company name), I usually purchase all major top-level domains, such as .com, .net, .org, .info, etc. to protect the brand and prevent other people from using it. For other websites, I usually register the .com where possible, since that is what most people are used to. In some cases, I might use one of the new top-level domains if it creates something unique that people will remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted March 20, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2018 By default everyone always says or thinks "domain.com" because of this to remember or recall information on a website at a later time .com is better in my opinion. I will say other domain extensions have come a LONG way from early 2000's so maybe my children's generation .com won't be as much of a cornerstone. I've read tons of articles and Google claims you're domain extension has no effect on your search engine rankings. WisTex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion country code TLD's can improve your search engine visibility on that particular country. You can also obtain names that that are already taken as a .com.

I guess if you're topic or service really is that niche it could make sense. Kakashi2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EfficientNinja Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I would choose .com or .net. It seems like it is the most common TLD right now. Although it's hard to use common names for your websites because it's most likely taken already. I also like these TLDs because I sometimes forgot the whole URL of a website that I'm supposed to visit and I mistakenly type .com but it isn't.

excellone Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 .com is the best domain and famous also, and everyone knows about it. That's why it is a little bit costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewjohn938 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I think if you want more popularity in your local area, then go with country domain. or else choose .com for worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pankaj0008 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If you are planning to target globally then .com is best option and also it comes into TLD (top level domain). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
