Tons of people seem to ask tld question so I thought I'd make a centralish poll.

Answer the question:

With the .com taken, which domain tld(s) would you consider for your domain?

The old thread will be deleted so please revote here!

I think it would depend upon the domain. I think the general rule of thumb is that people will go for the .net and then possibly .org. However, if it's a US-targeted website or fits one of the other extensions then I'd be inclined to go with that ext. I happen to favor .ws myself and would consider that next in line to .net for many domains.

I like them all except .ws , and not crazy about .biz.
.net, .org, and .us lead the pack, IMHO.
