Which would you buy?

I am starting my own personal design website, and of course everything with a .com extension is taken, but I have an opportunity to buy a .biz or .tv

With that in mind, I need your guys expert opinions on what would be more relevant for a business and corporate identity site.

.biz or .tv?

I've voted for .tv because in my country .tv is more popular and has more exposure than .biz, thanks to some TV stations developing some .tv names.

I really depends on the name, but in general, I'd go with .TV

Good luck!

I am no pro, but if it is for a design business, the .biz would be more fitting. If you're wanting to go with a shorter name that would most likely be worth more when/if the time comes to sell it, the .tv would be best.

That just my 2 cents!

I should have explained the question a little better. If the name was your personal name, what would you choose?

Since it is for business and corporate identity; .biz is better to me

.biz is one of the worst extensions and is overrated. .tv is much better. Definitely go with .tv!
