    Hi, I am going to register some more domain names to either park, sell or develop, and was wondering if .com are better than .net, .org? Is it still valuable to register short domain for other tld, such as .info, biz, ca, co.uk, etc, like for example car.co.uk?

    Yes .com is the mos valuable TLD face to the other TLDs with the same keyword.

    Depends on, what do you mean by short. LLL domains are all taken at the TLDs you mentioned before.

    By the way, you can register your domains at www.OrderDN.com ;)

    Thank you

    It also depends on your website content. If you are running an TV website, the .tv is the best not so much .com, .net and so on.

    Yes, no doubt. Unless you have a non profit organization, in that case you should consider buying a .org domain.

    .com is still better than other (.info .biz. .net .org). cause, lot of people very familiar with .com. and i think many peoples prefer .com than other.

    .com is the priority choice when choosing any domain.

    Is it still valuable to register short domain for other tld, such as .info, biz, ca, co.uk, etc, like for example car.co.uk?
    Yes coz the short .com domain is in shortage now.

    Well .com is the best because whenever a person types a site address he will always write a .com at the end its like a habit

    I believe .com is the best

    A Blog might be setup on a .info to save money

    Alternates of .net or .org will work almost as well

    Best Regards

    Of course, .com is the most popular.But if you have no better choice,I mean,if the domain with .com you want to
    purchase by others,you can use other domain extension such as .org,.net or .biz and even .info instead.With enough promotion,they can be popular,too.

    Yes .com!
    .com is still very affordable so it's still very much worth the money

    .com is the best in certain cases. However if you're a a non-profit .org might be better... .info is better for informational sites... and if you're doing business primarily in one country, I would say a ccTLD in that particular country would be better (ie a .ca domain for a Canadian company).

    Short domains are getting harder to get. Keywords in a short domain are paramount so even registering from lesser known extensions is good.

    Yes it's best to get a .com name. Users of the net have .com stuck in there brains when they think of a website address. I know I do.

    So in short. .com is the way to go.

    I mainly try for the .com but if that has gone i then use the .net option which in my opinion is the next best one to use.

    .com is best, but can you find keyword dot-com or net or org?? no chance!
    I prefer short keyword .pro!
    .pro = Professionals is gTLD , like dot-com or dot-net!
    and for development and SEO is perfect!
    Good Luck
