    If you can't get the .com, the next best thing is a .net

    If you can not have .com, it is always recommended to have .net or the country level domain such as .us or .in, etc.

    Yeah, I've never been to a .biz website.

    To me, it's .org after .com.

    .ORGs are usually available (compared to .net) and carry an air of legitimacy you lose with other extensions.
