Smile singular, plural, or both?

Hello Fellas,

When considering reg'ing a .info ext., to give info about a certain group of people, should the plural be reg'd if the singular has been taken?
e.g. wrestler (s).
Also, if both are available, (.info) should both be reg'd?

Thanks for any replies.

IMO plural will be good for giving an info about a certain group of people. wrestler.info might sound like a site providing info on a particular wrestler.

singular/plural...Well, It depends!

Anyway, if both were available I'd reg them both, especially if they were .info domains! They are cheap

I think that if possible register both. It really depends. In some condition "banker" would sound better, in some conditions - "bankers"

Get both! Cuz you never know..

But normally if you were to pick one out of the 2, the singular one is the way to go!

It depends on the names. But usually singular is the better choice.
