discuss Is .net of extra value to .com

[Sirbigman]

Hey, everyone.

Does having the .com and .net of a domain name both in your portfolio give extra value to it? Talking about a premium domain.

I think the same.

So the question was: Does having both extensions increase the value of the domain? I'm surprised that some domainers said no. We all know that .com is the king but having all the major extensions will indeed enable you to ask for a better price. I learned this from a recent video of @DomainSherpa with @Ali and he said that he bought all major extensions of a premium vr domain because he wanted to ensure power over the keyword. Now, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure those people know what they are talking about. That's all from me. Thank you for your input.

I don't think you need cars.com, cars.net, cars.org, in order get more money for cars.com. I also think most buyers of the .com, would not be so interested in paying more to own cars.net and cars,org. All buyers have budgets just like the rest of us. Even if they pay hundreds of millions for the .com. If they don't have any plans for the .net or .org. Why would they spend millions of dollars more on the .net and .org? What is needed to get the most of value for the .com, is a good business model generating good income, either real or planned. There. I've said it. I disagree with @Ali. I probably wouldn't call any VR domain premium either. But that's just me. Again

But I admire greatly, Ali's trajectory as a domainer. Something we all aspire to. But will sadly never achieve

and there you have it folks!

because "he" said so, in a video, then so it is.

no need to debate this further.

To me, an established company would value a dot org more than a dot net for marketing, community, and sustainability reasons.

I always recommend to my client to own .com .net and .org and the rest is optional depending on their budget.

But you don't practice what you preach with QUE.COM. This provides conflicting answers to @Sirbigman's original question.

Guys....as a newbie, I think this is a great thread here with great differing views.
So, as a newbie, can I ask peoples views on this?

Okay, say for example somebody owned creditcard.com and creditcard.net was available, what would be someones reasons for bagging the .net?
Would it be in the hope that a major credit card company would buy it to forward visits to the .com?
Will it get as much traffic?
Or....does the taken .com render the .net worth no more than its registration fee?

I have been playing around with some topical trending words and have maybe a couple of brandables where the .com, .net and .org is available.
Now, I don't want to register all 3 tld's if if don't have to obviously.

Maybe some of you are also thinking that if the .com, .net and.org is available, it doesn't sound promising but isn't that how brandables happen sometimes?

I'm grateful for any input guys,

Gar.
