opinion .com vs .xyz . Should I go for .xyz?

[Salman Mandal]

A certain domain with .com is costing me $300. but the same domain name with .xyz is costing me only $1.
So, should i go for the .xyz ?

Your coming across as if you can afford the $300 for the .com. I assume its listed on a re-seller site. In which case the extra cost for the .in is chicken feed, so go with both. Yep I also don't understand where .xyz entered the equation, even if it is on a $1 1st year promo.

I assume the Indian market is not that different from the UK, having both the Country code and Com can help seal a deal, not always just depends on the Global perspective on the domain wording.

We also have our unique spellings and wording that just doesn't travel, so the .com just becomes a safety net reg, no more than that

Simple answer stick with .com

.com

It's not for my personal use though. i am gonna sell it. But this specific domain will get only indian traffic since it's related to India . That's why i am asking should i go with $300 with .com or $4 with .in extension ?

Apparently you are not convinced it is worth $300 or you would have bought it. And what makes you think the .xyz or .in or even the .com will sell ? We are comparing apples to oranges here.
Answer: none of the above.

If a .COM is $300 and not selling, then you can be assured that the .XYZ is worthless.
Neither one seems like the best option.

I'd dig in that direction just in case: https://www.go.best, and secure the ".best"...because of this: https://www.the.best/ (coming this year).

ok i am going with .in extension. since this website visitor all will be indian. what do you think ?

This is a no brainer and the best alternative to the .com.

You are dealing in India, the .in makes the most sense and for companies dealing only in one country it can sometimes even be preferred over a .com because your clients will instantly know they are dealing locally.

Good luck
