    I have following domain name.

    www.webcity.tv

    I am thinking of starting a web directory. Do you think the domain is suitable for a web directory.

    Please suggest and vote.

    thanks

    .TV as a directory ? Most domains with a .tv extension tend to be in the entertainment industry.

    The domain is brandable for an entertainment site and not a directory site IMO..

    .tv as a directory is not suitable , you can look for other extensions like .com , .net , .org , .us e.t.c

    Nope. A .tv domain does not fit a web directory site.

    I think the name can be used for a web directory even though it's a .tv, probably not the best extention, but it's still easy enough to remember & it's catchy. But if you can, I'd stick to a .com

    Personally i would say it is not ideal for a webdirectory, doesn't mean you cant still use it for that reason as i see all types of names and extensions for directories, a .tv could be a first though in the directory world, or rare at least.

    Sometimes a directory owner will choose a name not immediately associated with directories but they may have a plan of creating a brand.
