    HI!
    I'm about to go big with my website (this time for real...no more daydreaming!) I have the .com and .org extension to my name...but I don't want someone to get the .net (I know stupid question...well then get it!) but do you think I really need it?? hmmm...obviously a "Newbie" question here....I can just always forward .net to one of the others...OK, now I'm just talking to myself...thanks for any input!:confused:

    Hi,
    If you are going to be big, or you are going to create a company, etc... Yes get your .net, today the cost is $8, if you become big, maybe it will cost TOO much if you need to buy it to another person :)

    If you have the .com and .org, you might as well just get it.

    Well, if you're planning to go big & don't want anyone to get it, then register it, it's only $7 & you have your name protected
