I having a headache deciding on domain, I have a .com and .net and am thinking of creating a corporate website like client area, Should i get .biz as it cheaper but from my understanding .com are better than .biz or should i get a domain with a country like .com.sg , it is expensive but i find the domain professional. Right now the company is having promotion like buy 3rd level domain get 2nd level domain (.sg) free for 1st year. Should i get the free 2nd level domain? My concern is no point having the free 2nd level domain, as I have nothing to place in it and I most likely drop the 2nd level domain after the 1st year and nobody just create website for 1 year only. They suggest i park the 2nd level domain to the 3rd level domain.If i carry on for both the domain after 1st year , i end up spending more. or i should forget it , just use a subdomain like client.something.com?
If you're looking for value then go with the one that includes the free domain. Why not throw wordpress on it and develop it into a simple blog or anything? If nothing else, 6 months from now you will have some content on there and could probably sell it for a few extra bucks. The second or third level domains may not rank as good in top countries like US and UK..So, if that's important to you then the .BIZ may be a better choice. For value you may as well get the one that includes a free domain. Develop it with something and then use it for building backlinks to your main website or just sell it down the line and use that money for buying some advertising or something..Why wouldn't you take a free domain and put it to use? even if it's only an extra couple hours per week. If it's SEO you're going after and getting traffic from everywhere and not just Antigua and Barbuda (if that's where .ag is)..then I would recommend the .BIZ
As a Singapore local business, I will encourage you to get country level domain extension like .com.sg and .sg. There are 144,576 already registered with Singapore Domain and 85,374 businesses have their .com.sg domains Why choose .com.sg or .sg - Better target local customer/ Singapore customer tend to purchase with own country business with trust - Get better SERP ranking while Google prefer to rank local business in Google.com.sg , especially website with local google place map and local domain extension. - You can notice that most of popular website and local gorverment website do use .sg and .com.sg www.stomp.com.sg www.nus.edu.sg www.acra.gov.sg Is not hard to find a cheap sg/com.sg domain register while i believe you can get it below SGD 40.00 easily. Since you got the .com domain , is better to grab SG domains as well to secure your brand before register by others. Copyright is expensive so is better grab it and use it while you can park it all to your .com as well and .com is good to target global .
If you want the domain to have type in value then go for the .com Otherwise, I don't think it really matters. Anyhow, with all the bookmarking that users do, perhaps type in value isn't as big as it used to be.
