    If a .com domain was unavailable & you had a choice of a .net or .org, which would be your pick & why?

    Also from a resale value later on, would a .net or .org be better?

    I personally choose .net since .org is generally affiliated with non-profit or open-source

    If it is commercial then .net and if it is non commercial then .org suits best.

    I think I like .org better than .net

    .net is like a watered down version of .com but .org is more distinctive. But it also depends on your site concept alot...which we dont know

    I haven't decided on a site yet. I have also read somewhere that a .org has a better chance of ranking a bit higher than a .net in search engines.

    So from a resale value of a .net would sell for more than a .org?
