There is no "better" to your question It depends on the usage If you have a business in India .in is better If you have a hosting network for example, .net is better than a very long .com If you have a fundraising .org will look better
The .com is the most popular and most often the first one your customers will try when typing in your domain name.
I like my .com names.. but it all depends on what im trying to build for a site... as stated above... other extentions work better.
As everyone said here go with COM , unless you cant register with that use some thing else (NET is my 2nd choice)
.com is the most popular one in TLDs. It is the most known TLD, when I first started browsing internet I only new .com and none else. I used to think there existed only .com and no other TLD. But as I am now into this websites developing business, I know there exist a lot other TLDs. Now to the point of which to choose.. The .com TLD is only good for the fact that many people know it and for domain sellers who manage to grab a nice keyword (like example.com). In my opinion going for .com is no more better than going for a fancy number for your bike or car (like 1, 11, 99 etc). But there are not many good domain names left with .com TLD as opposed to other TLDs. Suppose you want to register a domain with your desired niche keyword. But the chances are that the .com of that keyword has already been registered by someone else. At the same time, you might see that the domain is available with some less popular TLD, like .cc, .cn, etc If that is the case, I suggest that you go ahead and register the one with less popular TLD. Until now I haven't seen anything like, a domain with .com TLD gets more importance in search engine results and other less popular TLDs get less importance so that they appear in the last pages of search engine results. So, what I suggest to you is, go ahead and register any domain with any TLD if you can get a keyword-rich domain. But remember, there are some domains which need some requirements for you to register, like the .us which requires the owner of the domain to be an US resident or should have some physical office in the US or something to that effect.
