Is this thread comparing Word1.Word2 to Word1.com or Word1Word2.com?
If the former, then no ngtld combo can stand even close to .com
And, no, dance.club is not better than dance.com
Dance.com is legitimate mid $xxx,xxx to even 7 figure name, dance.club is mid xx,xxx to very low xxx,xxx name.
Dance.com has huge range of applications from a dance club to dance studio to dance app to anything basically. You own it, you have instant reputation, authority. Dance.club will require some explaining and even then it has its own peers among dance.studio, dance.pro, dance.life etc.
Now, if the latter, arguably they could have comparable value, although if I have to choose one, I will probably choose .com still, especially given that .com has renewal of $x and does not need explanation regarding where the dot is or that the brand you are sporting is an actual URL.
If I have on my t-shirt Dance.Club, someone seeing it has no clue I am advertising my domain. Now if I put DanceClub.com there, then we are talking... Literally, without saying anything ))
