    Is .com, will be .com - its not going to change. Why? Simple - every company advertises the fact they are a .com

    if you buy any others - its purely for protecting your brand. i.e if u own - mybrandname.com - you'd by mybrandname.org/net/biz/tv etc

    If you dont have the .com - you have sold yourself short of your brand.

    LoL yes .com is the beast, if you have a clever name might try .net or .org if that'll work!

    I conducted a few popularity polls. From what I've gathered, in order of popularity:

    .com
    .net
    .org
    .info
    .me

    and sometimes .tv

    COM is the dominant.
    It is also the oldest, best know, less available, most marketed...

    No no, you're mistaken! Everyone types in .biz automatically and never give a second thought to .com :rolleyes:
