    It is always better to go ahead with .com domain, if you are planning to work on single vertical then you can concentrate on .co. If you have any plan to enhance your website like creating new domains with sub-domains in this case you should have domain in .com

    I don't think .com domains are that costly. About the domain name, almost all the short domain names are taken. Don't go for a too long one, go for a medium one. Use domainavailabilitycheck.com to enter all your domains and check if they are available or not at once. I use it, its helpful.

    .co is the extension for Columbia. They just opened up to foreigners buying their extension.

    Just do your keyword research and you'll do fine.

    As long as the main keyword you are going to target is in the name then it does not matter what the extension is.

    Domains cost what the cost, but, you can find them for $5 or less if you look hard enough.

    There are two ways to go about getting domain names. The first is to get one that contains your primary keyword phrase. These help with SEO in the beginning. The second is to go with a brandable vanity name. They are initially harder to get to rank for your primary keyword phrase but often are more valuable down the line...
