Which would you choose?

FMS · 07-27-2004, 05:28 PM

If you only had these options for a domain, which would you choose? These would be the only options....which one is best?

.idv.tw
.cn.com
.hu.com
.sa.com
.se.net
.no.com
.ru.com
.uy.com

kaliboy2g · 07-27-2004, 05:31 PM

are these for a subdomain?

FMS · 07-27-2004, 06:09 PM

NO, there is a domain I really want and this is what's left.

dpk87 · 07-27-2004, 06:44 PM

They all suck.

redhippo · 07-27-2004, 06:57 PM

NO.COM is ok with me!!

FMS · 07-27-2004, 08:43 PM

Yeah...its basically for a keyword domain website we are making...want to try this out as a "test" to see if in fact the site can rank well in the search engines since the search engines state, they don't penalize due to extensions. So this will be a trial run.

dpk87 · 07-27-2004, 08:57 PM

well give it a try, won't hurt. Also, post some results if you can.

sibaong · 07-27-2004, 09:05 PM

no.com <--- for lottery numbers

***armstrong*** · 07-27-2004, 09:10 PM

.idv.tw - this is the only real ICANN-recognized domain, and can help you with SEO. The rest are technically just subdomains, so you'd be better off just buying a short 3-letter domain - like for example vid.us

- and creating all the subdomains you want for free off of that. That is: american.vid.us, rent.vid.us, edit.vid.us, etc.

FMS · 07-27-2004, 09:14 PM

thanks for the info

jyfan · 07-28-2004, 12:31 AM

i like no.com short and with meaning...

QBert · 07-28-2004, 04:01 AM

whats the meaning may i ask? just like the word no?

QBert

FMS · 07-28-2004, 08:52 AM

no.com (Norway)

QBert · 07-29-2004, 02:17 AM

cn.com China
hu.com Hungary
no.com Norway
se.net Sweden
sa.com Saudi Arabia
ru.com Russian Federation
uy.com Uruguay

I still dont see what makes that one have more meaning

, however that no.com would be the one i would choose. easer to rember.

ps, nice site fms

netPH · 07-29-2004, 02:49 AM

my pick

idv.tw
no.com

just like it's sound

I think whoever it is that is selling you these so-called domains is screwing your head - what's this idv.tw rubbish? I want my idv.uk too.

theparrot · 07-29-2004, 07:10 AM

did you try .tk or .cn or .com.cn or .bz ?

FMS · 07-29-2004, 01:24 PM

"I think whoever it is that is selling you these so-called domains is screwing your head - what's this idv.tw rubbish? I want my idv.uk too."

ENOM is selling this rubbish (LOL) haha had to quote that one (grin)

Doing a test run to see if the search engines will penalize for having such an off the wall extension. Don't worry...we are not investing in it for domain purposes...just doing a trial run...will report results as they come in...

AdsenseGuy · 07-29-2004, 01:31 PM

None of the above, There has to be another way

kaliboy2g · 07-29-2004, 01:49 PM

These arent even domains. You can get these subdomains free.

FMS · 07-29-2004, 01:57 PM

idv.tw is sold by Enom for 29.95 or more per year.
This is becoming an interesting topic..Anyone else want to chime in.

***armstrong*** · 07-29-2004, 03:30 PM

Not all the 3rd-level domains sold at enom are "real" domains. By "real" I mean one that is offered directly at the cctld registrar, which for .tw is at http://rs.twnic.net.tw/ . Theoretically, such "real" domains can help you get an edge with the search engines.

idv.tw is one of the subdomains being offered there, and therefore can be considered a "real" domain.
