.TM vs .MD

[ritziyap]

which is better?

.TM stands for Turkmenistan.. and .MD for Moldova

.TM also for TradeMarks (businesses) ..

and

.MD also for Medicine (medical instituitions, professionals, etc)...

which extension is more valuable?

 

[OK]

Depends on the domain. If it is like Doctor, the .MD is better.

 

[ritziyap]

how about prozac.tm

isn't that confusing?

or pharmacycompany.md


=)

 

[hanz]

I think .tm is better because it just souds better

 

[stscac]

I'd be bold and say .md due to the marketing that has been done with the extension. But I still like .com better.

i'll say .tm for an avg. domainer

but if you are in medical industry then go with .md

 

[Dannoth]

i'll say .tm all the way

 

[holeinone]

Both have the same value IMHO

 

[Kate]

I don't know about .md but .tm is really expensive. Can you afford the cost ?
I would go for .com and register a US TM with uspto.gov for < $400.

I haven't checked lately, and frankly haven't heard much about these domain recently. However, I think they used to have requirments that for TM you had to prove you had a trademark, and for MD you had to prove you were a doctor. Unless you have plans to develop, I don't think either is worth speculating with.

 

[BMFX]

Yeah, i would go .TM just sounds better to me....

but if you were using for medical reson .MD would be better.

 

[peter phillips]

I think both extensions are valuable from a users perspective. .md is good for medicine industry and medical professionals. .tm is good for commercial purposes and Trademarks.

MD = Marque Déposée = Trademark in French

I think .tm sounds better to the ear than .md. Obviously it depends on the situation like everyone mentioned before.

I think a .tm domain should only be purchased if you actually have a trademark... there's no sense getting one if it can be replaced with .com.

 

[staskul]

I think, .TM is much better

 

[ridesign1]

I have to go with TM

 

[dongan]

if it is a pharmaceutical company, go with .MD extension.

md = 150$ to reg, ouch

 

[AdoptableDomains]

md = 150$ to reg, ouch

Oh, that's no so bad... .TM costs $990.00 (minimum 10 year registrations prepaid at $99 per year). (Enom pricing)
