    Of the three available, I would definitely consider .NET to be the most valuable and brandable by a signficant margin. In the UK, I would place .INFO slightly above .EU. If you were perhaps in Luxembourg or Belgium the .EU might be higher.

    ok thanks, i will register the .net domain i think

    the others are registered but to be honest they are not developed very well so im sure i can get above them in the search engines anyway

    .net is better, just have a search, you also can find, so many .net, but less .biz.

    .com
    .net
    .co.uk
    .org
    .tv
    .biz
    .eu
    .jp
    .ru
    .info

    If you can't get at least a .net you should find a new name... .info is trash listed... ..

    I agree - .net over .biz. I think it comes down to the fact that people are more used to seeing .net over .biz and there's a large part of the web surfing population that still thinks that the web shouldn't be commercial.
