.COM / .NET /.ORG will always be the big three. Ask the average computer user to list the extensions they have heard of and that is what 95% of people will say.
.NET is a good alternative for some things like BuyComputers.net
.ORG is good for things like QUITSMOKING.org
Outside the domain world most people have never heard of .info, .mobi, .asia, etc.
.Net is most commonly seem as being used because the .com was taken. I personally don't like this extension.
My favorite is .org. It's had a lot of attention focused toward it lately. Sales figures are rising, while this extension probably has more end users (relative to the number of registrations) than most other generic TLDs.
Many students are only allowed to use Internet research from .edu, .gov, or .org sites, which gives them an exclusive "reliable" air.
Right now, .net is the second-best. Like I said, I personally don't agree with this and think .org is better, but I'm not everybody.
another solutions: computernet.com, computerorg.com?

Dot Net is definitely the queen. Org with its emphasis on non-profit organization would be hard to fill the position of the position of queen. But another extension that I fee is of potential would be Dot Biz. I think it is a good replacement for Com when the suitable Dot Coms dried up.
well .com is currently the king and probably it is going to remain the same. but as far as the next best is concerned. .net is a poor cousin of .com which loses all its traffic to .com, taking a .com means doing a free advertisement for the one who owns the actual .com extension so i think the one who owns.net is certainly pitiable, whereas .org cannot be used everywhere, its majorly used only on organisations. but it has a dignity of its own. so i think we have a clear winner. which is .org
p.s - but then i might be wrong. so no offence. peace.
i would have to agree... it is def .net. i remember reading somewhere a week ago that .net has contributed to 1/4 of all domain sales. Thats alot considering all the country extensions
I dont know about others, but for me .net has no value. seriously.
I only reg. .net if it is beside the .com, if I dont have the .com, I dont reg/buy the .net no matter what.
At the moment I have two .net's because I also have/had the .com's
The first is the one you can see at my signature, I have 77gb.com , .net and .org .
The other was a file sharing site I had developed updownloading.com , .net and .org .
updownloading.com is sold and I am stuck with the .net and .org
When I search for available domains, I search for these extensions:
1) .com
2) .ws / .org (depends on what the domain is about)
3) .eu
4) .co.uk
5) .tv
6) .asia / .cc / .info / .mobi (depends on what the domain is about)
7) .biz (very very very rare)
.
..
...
100) .net (no im not kidding )
But above ranking is how I feel today, tomorrow I might change my mind. A month ago, I would never have regged any .ws, now I like the extension.
I will take .COM anytime I can find it, but in the industry in general .NET is widely viewed as the second best extension. I would rather have an extension that the majority of others know about than some obscure extension only domainers are aware of.
Anybody who used the internet has heard of .COM / .NET / .ORG, past those most people aren't aware of any other extensions.
If you look at completed sales .NET has many big sales, and it doesn't have to be something like POKER.net to sell for good money. There are many 2 and 3 word .NET that have good sales.
You should have added 'for americans'. In which case com,net,org period.
If you are british .co.uk is better than .com. Likewise .de in germany and even .ro in Romania etc.
Most countries are 100% behind their ccTLDs now and obviously have much more choice than in .com , even for foreign language domains.
So outside of USA .com is not always king even.
I agree with the comment about lesser gTLDs .info etc. - they are only registered defensively mostly or as a last resort. Although clearly there is always room for change and I think .info is showing signs of becoming the .org for europe - where they/we do not like .org. US/UK definately does not seem to like .info but germany, especially, does.
I think the biggest growth potential is for .us - in 10 years she could be queen. Reason: .com domains will become so thin on the ground, and so expensive, even for US businesses (think china/russia/india/EU growth) that US will need another nice extension - whether you want it or not.
.net is definitely ahead of .org right now. It purely may be due to the fact that a commercial corp would much rather prefer to reg a .net instead of a .org as the latter is very clearly a non-profit organization orientated extension.
I personally dont compare the two because of the different uses. But, going by the stats, .net is definitely second only to .com, with .org close behind.
Definitely .org, if .org is at all applicable to the domain. If I visit a site and it is a .org or .com, there is automatically a level of trust established, whereas with .net I always feel like the owner couldn't afford a better domain (I actually can't think of a time when I visited a .net that I didn't feel that way. I'd actually go as far as to say that I would never develop a .net, unless it was a STELLAR premium, like world.net or so on).
