STOP you found a great domain name....
Now protect your name, increase your traffic and more!

Hi all, and happy new year. When i get this message is it important for me to get all the dots, or is it okay to take just the dotcom. Is it perhaps better to own all the dots for possible future sales.?

I am not a pro..but if the name is super important I would also buy the .net.
Then you can redirect traffic from the .net to the .com and feel comfortable having both popular extensions.

Depends on your business model. For a new domainer, I would discourage buying the other extensions. Also, if the other extensions are unregistered, it is a clue that there is little or no demand for your name, .com or otherwise. The only exception might be if you have some specific, specialized future market data that others do not have.

Ok thank you both.

If the business is big it will be good.

if your a domainer collecting names forget about getting the other dots, but if you have one website about your business and your putting a ton of time and money into the name then consider buying the dot net just so its in your hands.

many new domainers make the mistake of thinking they got a great idea and reg the .net and org and info only to later find out they got 4 names they cant sell for reg fees.
