Which is the best Domain?

[Naiwen]

A. com, a .info, or a .org, or a .co.uk or something else? I dunno, I don't use any domains because its just a site for pleasure and fun.

It depends on the site!! Some sites sound better with a .net i.e. Philosophybb.net sounds better than Philosophybb.com. However in general .com's are the way to go

 

[Naiwen]

What about .me and etc? The lesser known ones... and the less famous ones.

 

[Sam1]

.me and the like are great if you have something that works with them such as unblock.me or unblock4.me AND if you can get 1 or 2 word domains with them

I guess it depends on what you are going to be using it as, if it's a network of sites go .net, if it's a one of domain go a .com, if it's informational go .info

Also .me are great for personal pages, portfolios and such

What are .org actually for though?

 

[ford1001]

Organisations?

 

[xpl0iter]

non profit organizations to be exact!
But when it comes to selecting a domain, it becomes a personal choice and nothing else!

 

[ford1001]

But it is best to choose a domain regarding your site.

I believe that whilst .coms are generally regarded as 'the'' domain to have, it does as stated above depend on your preferences and what you are using it for. If you're making a site about a tv show, maybe a .tv would be better (As I've seen locally). .coms are regarded as the creme de la creme of domains and rightfully so but so many people use .info, .org and whatnot because it fits better with their name. It's all about choice and what the site is about in my eyes.

HAHHAAHAHHA when has anyone used .org for "non profit organisations"

You have two choices:

SEO: (High Level Domain)
Branding: (Good Name/Low Level Domain) (Relies on other sources other than SEO)

They are two that I know, I'm sure there are many more. I can see wat you mean though, like I said. It is all down to the personal preference/choice of the company/person buying the domain in my eyes.

 

[mogoko]

They are doing it correctly Most people are not.

I always go with a .com it's the most recognized one out.
