    only yesterday i figured an available awesome business related domain name. i checked the tld's but just .org is available:mad: should i go for it? its a 2 word 12 character business related domain. i did overture keyword search and overture returned 500 searches done january 2007 with the keywords!

    i wish i could show you the name! okay anyways perhaps you guys have seen stockquotes.com dropped from the auction because it didnt meet the reserve or something like that which is im really confused about (although it pulled $450K bid:eek:) if loanquotes.org was available, do you think its a good domain to buy?

    Go with the domain that you want, so what if it's a .org?

    no other tlds but .org and .org.uk available with the domain. i dont think anyother tlds will be worth the reg fees

    Foget about .org.uk, a total waste of money IMO. Without really knowing the name, it's hard to say if it's worth to get it, but if you feel it's a good one, I'd go & get the .org then ask others for their opinions

    this has happened to me also..

    some time back i had this real good domain but it wasnt available in .com or .net..

    so i had the option of getting a .org, but i didnt go for it..the thing is some domains 'sound' good on .org's others dont...

    thats exactly the reason im not approaching to waste $8. loanquotes.org doesnt sound that good as loanquotes.com does right?

    Yeah.....Its good to get Domains which are related to business !
    But i thought .org didnt had any much value compared to .com ???
    Like recently i bought financialoan.com
    Its a game of patience, so i have to wait and try to sale it off !

    best of luck !

    Most end users in the US at least automatically associate websites with .com I won't go into all the sites that utilize this that end in .gov and the .com version has landed a TON of hits. For a while I think .com will be what a lot of people tack on the end by instinct.
