Depend what name domain you have.

I preffer .com and .net , not .org in general.

Yeah , I prefer that too. But you know both has its advantages and disadvantages, just wanna know so we can all justapose

 

[Claraviolet]

I would always go with .com .
Not because it used to be the best TLD but it still got the potential to have the registrations more than 50% of the entire domain extension market. If it's not available then I would opt for .net . I am really not sure the reason why I believe it's the second choice for me, instead of other TLDs.

As for .org , non-profit organizations make use of this domain, so I usually don't go with it, unless it applies to me. All in all, I would say .com is the best because it's just easy to remember.

Yea, thank you for your advice, yeah I think I will choose .com. it's more popular and more widely used and ACCEPTED

I will definitely go with .com. It will always be my first choice. Then .net can come in second.

Yeah, that's what I will probably pick as my choice too, but do you have any reasons why you prefer one to another

The .com extension is the best, it is more easily recognized by people and it is what they are familiar with already. No matter what, I advise you go with it provided it is not taken for the keyword you are using it for.

Honestly I've seen successful and popular websites with all of the 3 domains listed above. I think all of them are good, it's just that .com usually looks better and people tend to trust it more

 

[Claraviolet]

Instead of accepted by everyone, .com is just easy to remember according to surveys.

Well, in some distant future it might lose whatever popularity it's got but as of now, it's still a top level domain. So, if the keyword is available, then it's better to go with .com instead of any other domain extension.

I usually go for .net if .com is not available. Lately I have been thinking of giving .co, a try.

Yeah, .com is the most widely use compare to others.
I have been seeing some weird ones like .im, .org, what do you think about those too?

Yeah, .com is the most popular out of it all, and it seems it is the most widely recognised among it. Alot of websites we prefer .com first.

The .com extension is the best, it is more easily recognized by people and it is what they are familiar with already. No matter what, I advise you go with it provided it is not taken for the keyword you are using it for.

Yes, I think you are right about .com been the best, it's the most used and most widely recognized among them all

 

[Claraviolet]

To be honest, I haven't heard of .im until now.

May be it's one of the new emerging domain extensions. These days a lot of new domain extensions are getting popular. These include .co, .info, .io, .club and many more.
As for .org, it's for non-profit organizations. Usually others use that domain extension as well, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless we meet those set criteria.

I personally prefer .com domain which is most trusted and have great authority in terms of SEO but if you targeting country specific traffic than I would suggest to go country specific domain which looks much better for local traffic.

Ooh alright, thank you for the information, yeah those special domain can be good to use too, since it's kinda special and not that common

That's true but I wouldn't recommend them just yet.

It's safe to go with a top level domain always. It's just that once the hype goes down, others wouldn't pay much attention to them again. Of course, if you get loyal members then it would be different.
It's better to always stick to the current top 3 top level domains always.

Alright thank you for the advise. I think I Just have to go with .com, it's the best choice among the top level domains

I will always go for .com type domains because it guarantees you traffic from all over the world, as well as SEO indexing is much easier and faster, well, now you also have the reason and the niche to use it ... How is .org , you won't be able to make a gaming site, at least not me...
