Hi Everyone, I am not in domain business for a long time and now I would like to see, after .com, what is the best domain extension? .co or .io ??? I mean for domain investor. Thank you for your sharing
.co .io is only for high premium words and specially if you want to invest in .io than better stick with only tech premium words. Only 1 word domains are recommended as well.
Personally I'd go for .co after .com, considering it's available before exploring .io. This is for general cases but there may be very few instances I'd consider .io before .co.
I think there is not a simple answer, it depends on where you are and the area of specialization. In many parts of the world the country code is the first choice. In general, I would say .org is next. For tech startups probably .io (mainly single word) For artificial intelligence startups, possibly .ai (but only AI related) For companies with some sort of network, possibly still .net For companies that can't afford .com in general, probably .com In a few cases one of the new gTLD may be best.
I just compared recent .net sales to .co sales on Namebio. It looks like .net still has .co by a small margin. It also appears to me that .co might be better than .net for one-word names, a la .io. I'm not advocating .net, but why isn't there more consideration for .net on NP given the sales trends?
As a seasoned domainer, I’d rarely opt for .co. It’s better to go with .org, .io, maybe even .tv...before .co imo.
