Discussion: .NET vs .ORG

[zexy]

I was wondering in a competitive niche when .COM is not available, what would you prefer: .NET or .ORG?
Google should treat them in very much the same way. But do you think it makes difference for the visitor/customer?
Are we allowed to run commercial sites on .ORG domains? Share your thoughts :)

Personally i like .NET best, google should treat them the same though. Still some people are absolutely sure .ORG is some kinda nasty stuff. I would go for .NET

Usually I use .net, but it depends what it's for.

.org if it's for something more professional

.Net has more resale value.

Thanks you guys! I was able to find a fairly good .COM domain for my new project.
It's not an easy task to find a good .COM domain in a competitive niche nowadays. Almost impossible.

Absolutely get the .net, it's worth more & the best extention after the .com

Absolutely you can!

Well, I've got www.magazinesubscription.net and www.magazinesubscription.org

I've got the decision to make, which one to promote!

Any ideas?

[zexy]

@vwdforum - promote .NET!

Thanks htmlindex! I'm very happy today as I got a great .COM :)

I personally like the .org, but I am beginning to realize that .net is more valuable.

I just love dotORG.

[qprojects]

To me .org is better :)

[BlogSalesman]

I am finally finding people who like .org as much as I do, but why does .net sell for higher?

I feel .net is better for commercial use. Dot org feels like some non profit group :)
