Hello , to all i need know whats is the diference between this TLD s ...

They each originally had their own intended purposes. .Com was for commercial organizations, .Net was for network infrastructures, and .Org was for organizations. They are all unrestreticted and no longer fall stricly under their respective categories. .Com is now the first extension that should be bought if available in all cases. .Net and .Org are often times now bought as a backup. If you buy "something or other .com", it is often times wise to get the .net and .org as well, if you are planning on developing the name. .Org is still a very good choice for organizations, but as I said, the .Com should always be bought if available.

You also have many more choices now that are even more specific. It is pretty obvious what .Biz and .Info are used for and may be useful in some instances. Country codes such as .US, .ES, or .CN can be useful. There are even now region codes you can get, .EU and .Asia.

It is always safest to get the .com and then depending on what you are going to do with it, then consider the other extensions you may want.

I believe everybody around here would agree that com is king, so concentrate on that market. After that there are lots of opinions, like:

com > net > org > info > mobi

com > mobi > net > info > org

com > net > mobi > info > org

yada yada yada. The only constant here is com. Other than com, I really don't have major preferences as long as I think it will sell. I have registered com/net/mobi/info/org/us, but some people around here absolutely hate one extension or another.

The best advice is to try to get the .com, then after that make sure that the tld is appropriate for the extension. For example, try to avoid things like "SeattleSchools.cn" and "ChinaSchools.us". Some things work in any extension, like poker is taken in all known extension.

If you are new, take a month off and read several thousand posts in this and other forums before buying. You will save yourself a lot of money. People that rush into this market frequently get hurt, and bust the budget before they know what *should* have been bought.

I always say: invest in .com, strong .nets/.org/.info (by strong I mean STRONG), and your own ccTLD (if you're from the US, this point doesn't apply).

.com 100

.net 10

And what happens if your ccTLD is a crap one, would you still suggest investing in it???
