discuss .Com - .Org or both

[ThatNameGuy]

Recently I've been registering quite a few political, and what I refer to as social domains. While .com is preferable in most cases, there have been times where only the .org was available so what to do?

For example, i really like the name iTrustYouJesus and it was available in both .com and .org. Well, i chose one and own it today, but I hesitated to register the other domain even though it would cost me all of $10.17. So what to do?

What are your feelings about .org as a possible alternative to the .com? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Political domains are usually contemporary and doesn't really mesh well with the long term investment strategy employed by most domainers.

For example, i really like the name iTrustYouJesus and it was available in both .com and .org.

Always consider the hierarchy of names. What are the alternatives--are any of them better or more intuitive?

What about trustjesus.com, trustchrist.com, or itrustjesus.com? If there are a dozen decent alternatives then you need to be #1, and (in my opinion) itrustyoujesus.com isn't it.

What are your feelings about .org as a possible alternative to the .com? Inquiring minds would like to know.

My suggestion is always get the .com. If the .org is more suitable then get both.

I suggest you learn to sell a domain name first before registering any more.

Thanks for your feedback, and while I agree with most of what you're saying, I'm not your typical domainer nor do I care to be. Lets take your suggestions, "trustjesus.com, trustchrist.com, or itrustjesus.com". In case you hadn't noticed, none of these domains are available in either .com or .org, and the owner of trustchrist.com is asking $18,900. So while these may be "alternatives", they're simply not available or attainable unless you're willing to pay an outrageous price.

Moving on, as a niche domain investor I'm accumulating a portfolio of faith domains, for which I happen to own FaithDomains.xxx. So why would I register a domain like iTrustYouJesus.com/org? Regardless of whether you're a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, etc., BILLIONS of people in our world subscribe to some sort of religion/faith.

Like I said, thanks for your feedback, and God Bless You regardless of your faith

I can't really think of an occasion where I would register only the .org and leave the .com available.

I can think of occasions where I would register neither though, like with pretty much every example domain the OP posted.
