question If .COM is unavailable, what do you do?

[abstractdomainer]

Suppose you love a name whose .COM is unavailable, but other extensions are available. Do you choose a different name or do you go for another extension? Which one?

I personally go for .CO for the same name, if at all it is available and is not marked as premium. It looks like a comfortable second option to me, after .COM.

What about you people?

Depends on the industry and target market. I really like the crypto/blockchain/decentralized space for hand regs. If .com is unavailable, popular in the crypto industry are .org, .network and .app.

Personally, I stay away from .co as there is too much confusion with .com.

Obviously, all opinion.

I go with the .net or .org version if it's available but .com is not. In very rare cases I might go with .cc if it's a dictionary word of 5 letters or less

99% just find another dot com. Otherwise .co.

 

[Daniel Owens]

Sometimes you can add the word site to it or the word webpage or website but usually it's not worth doing so and the same domain in .net would look nicer if .com is taken

Rarely go to .co, too confusing. Try .io or .org but never ever go with .net.

Ask current site owner if they consider selling. You still want the best name for the business.

.org / .in ( country code )

Stick to .COM as long as it is very important business which needs to make money. For hobby sites and blogs, that have no company behind them, I think choosing .net is even better than .co, cause chances of your users going to the .com when you have a .co is high. This is what I believe.

 

[Domains Ted]

I will chose a different name in .com

com>net>org>cctld

 

[Wesley S]

i go, "AHHHHHH, its taken!" then i look for another .com. My regs for other extensions are on purpose.

Depends,

If my target market mainly from India than I will use .IN and .Co.in

If my target market is world wide and my startup in Technology niche than I will go with .io

But .co still a good choice in most cases.
