.COM, .NET, What Should You Get
Denver Web Design - SEO Article
There are SO MANY Domain Name extensions on the internet. How can you know which one to get!
First Choice: Buy a .COM. Even if you can't get the exact domain name you want and have to settle for a slight variation, as long as it still makes sense a .COM is best. Why? Because if you tell someone to go to terribletigers.us and they don't do it for a few days, the odds are good that if they remember the domain name at all they will type it in as terribletigers.COM.
Price: .COM domains should be about $11 or $12 per year. If you are at a domain registrar (a website that sells domains) and it is MORE than that, you should just close the browser window and go to a GoDaddy reseller like http://everdreamdomains.com. You will never pay inflated prices at a Godaddy reseller site.
Second Choice: .NET or .ORG work as good back ups if you can't get a .COM. If you don't want to settle for a variation of the domain name you want and it is already taken in the .com's... These extensions are solid and preferred over the rest of the pack.
Price: These extensions vary in price but again, they average about $11 or $12 per year.
Third Choice: If you are not a government agency or a non-profit and you plan to drive traffic to your website with ads or by spreading your websites hyperlink around blogs and forums, it really doesn't matter what extension you buy. .US, .CO, .INFO or any other extension will do fine. I recommend that if you can't get a .COM, a .NET or a .ORG, try to get a .INFO.
Price: They can be purchased for the least money. Right now, at our domain registrar EVERDREAMDOMAINS.COM we are selling .US Domains for $3.99 per year, and .INFO Domains are $2.99 per year.
