The Dot Holdings Extension. Is It Better To use As Your Main Domain Or Forward?

I don't like blanket rules in domaining, every name creates its own circumstance. Without knowing the name but at least knowing the keyword/extension here;

- if it makes a sensible combination, let's say either Eagle Holdings or something more attuned to the keyword like Investment Holdings, I would lean towards using the new gTLD as main and forwarding the .com to it.

- if the combination is odd, let's say a 3-worder like Kitchen Spoon Holdings or a very bad sounding plural like Vintages Holdings, ditch the new gTLD altogether and stick solely .com.

dot com is preferable but a better choice can only be made after knowing the name.

i wouldnt hold holdings.holdings

.com all the way
