poll .Co or .Org or .Net which is the next to .COM

[srimaha]

The next best extension to .COM.

Which one you prefer.

What will be the percentage of sales price of category killer names in these

extensions compared to .COM

It depends upon the domain name, if it is Not profit organization they prefer .org.

And if there is a startup company they prefer .co

 

[Sophia Alice]

.net if global
.cctld if country level target

.net - yesterday, today and for ever

 

[ChasingElectrons]

.co looks confusingly similar to .com. .com has received a lot of marketing and I'm not sure .co could pass the radio test.

There is even a thread on this very forum about .co emails being misdelivered (or should I say, misaddressed) to .com.

.NET both for ranking and branding purposes.

.org I think is a little better than the other two

"Net" for network; Cant spell "Internet" w/o "net"

.Net introduced January 1, 1985

True Original. Stats suggest .net down, but long live net as #2 (@jmcc )

I thought startups prefer ".IO"?

Obviously not one of the choices, and far from #2, i disagree

Startups prefer .com

Country code
( .in for me )

 

[Brian L.]

I prefer .org if it makes contextual sense for the domain name, otherwise .net. Using a .co would probably result in a lot of traffic and email leakage to the .com equivalent.

In terms of recognition, .NET (by volume) or .ORG (by reputation) but both of them have recognition where .CO is often seen as a typo for .COM.

.net

 

[BrandCollectors.com]

depending on the name
org is good for geo names and non profit or crypto etc
co is a short version of company
net is for a tech startup.

 

[bmugford]

.NET in general. If it fits the extension well then .ORG.

.NET is usually a second choice, where .ORG can be the first choice for some terms when it comes to end users.

[Mr. Burnham]

Tld-list says that the extensions with the biggest popularity are
1) com
2) net
3) co
4) org

 

[FolioTeam]

There's no next .com.

Having said that, I definitely prefer .org simply because it's the only extension on that list that stands tall in its own right.

With .net, .co etc, I see them and assume the business branded on those because they couldn't get the .com. While .org brands look deliberate.

 

[Armageddon]

.us

 

[dominioso]

.net but .org too depends on the niche .
while some prefer .co or .io

 

[April004]

It all depends on the usage of the TLD.
If its a company/brand/ecommerce, then .CO will do (and too if it's a single word)
If its a gaming site, forum, informative site then grab a .NET
.ORG is only good for non-profit or organization-type sites or businesses who want give more information about their CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities, etc.
