I need advice on a .Org


Hey Guys,

I recently decided to start a new project and I found an okay domain to do it with. It's a 2-word domain that makes sense and it fits my project perfectly. The only problem is, is that it is a .Org extention.

Currently all of the "common" extentions: .Com/.Net/.Info/.Biz/.Us are taken. What should I do? Should I get the domain, or should I settle for a .Com that might not be as "unique".

I'm kind of confused, and I wish I could share the name but I don't want others to register it. Please advise me on what you can advise me on.

Thanks,
Andy

My advice is to grab it. Org domains are not bad if you are willing to use it for a company

Reg it and then post it, people will be able to tell you if it's good to use it or not.

You'll maybe waste $7, but if you really plan to work on this project, what is 7 bucks ?

If all the extensions are taken, might as well grab the .org for investment purposes if not development.
My take: find a .com that fits.

Does it just "make sense" or is it a highly attractive and appropriate keyword combination? If the latter, then without a doubt - get it!

Go with your gut feel sometimes...
