    From my point of view, being from the UK, I would be more likely to go for the .com domain name. I think .com domain names sound more official and trustworthy. Just my opinion.

    The .in domain is a nice domain name, but if you are going to use it internationally you should go with the dot com.

    IMO, zonemedicine. com should be the way to go. medicalstudents cant be branded, its too general...

    Suppose your site grows big, you'll understand why a trademark would be important, and then medicalstudents doesnt seem brandable.

    These folks know what they are talking about. the .com domain will have more commercial appeal worldwide.

    thankx guys for great suggestions.
    my plan was first i have to get some member to signup so its difficult internationally so what i was thinking was
    first get some indian signups target as its indian, indianmedical students will be interested to signup as member grows somewhat about 100-200 then go with zonemedicine and built international members.as its difficult for medical sites to bring members internationally as there are many forum communities,so i'll target from that forums some indian members first.

    anyway thanks for your suggestions guys .i'll go for zonemedicine.com as it can be branded later.but for first months i need target traffic so i'm going with medical students .thankx for all your support
    so how is my plan i';m i doing right.
