What's better-singular org or plural com?

Jammer · 10-21-2004, 09:52 AM

Wondering what others think about this.What would you think has more value.....a singular org or the plural com?(For a commercial product)
Thanks!

Well, let's see, what sounds better:

lawnmower.org
OR
lawnmowers.com ?

I'd say, definitely the .com... plus, its a .com, so it would likely have more value than a similar .org anyway.

Phoog · 10-21-2004, 10:31 AM

I agree with Anthony, the .com is almost always the better one, but some case can be different...

Definitely the plural .com - Unless your planning an Organization

~ Also Is it a Product/Item you would search for the Plural form ?

Jammer · 10-21-2004, 11:06 AM

Well.google results show almost 300k more for the singular than the plural...search wise it could be either.

Well, .com names are just much more appealing than the .org names. I'd go for a .com if I was planning a new online business or smth.

middlebe · 10-21-2004, 11:53 AM

plural .com is better.

**Dave Zan** · 10-21-2004, 12:15 PM

.COM definitely. Look what happened to factcheck.com when Cheney meant
it for .ORG.

I'd have to agree definitely the .com unless it's an organization.

i'd say plural .com

Cyberian · 10-21-2004, 01:08 PM

Is the .net taken?

freak · 10-22-2004, 02:58 AM

I'll add my vote in (not that it matter much IMO), .com is better

pynchon · 10-22-2004, 08:10 AM

Just on the pural and the singular part of this topic. It depends on the product.

What comes to mind is drug.com or drugs.com. The s implies more choices.

And we know how much that one went for.

My 2 cents

I also would buy a .com before a .org 99% of the time.
