Which is preferred? A short (less than 10 char, 2 word) .com name with a hyphen or the same name in .org without the hyphen?

I think it depends on the subject. Right off the bat I'm going to say .com, but there are SOME cases where a .org sounds better (environmental awareness, etc.)

Get both when in doubt. :]

The com is preferred

I think.

.Com is more popular, so probably .com.

Ok. Thanks guys. I ask because I'm interested in about half dozen related domains. In some cases I was able to get the hyphenated .com and others the unhyphenated .org. I think it was a close call, but I think there were more hyphenated .coms available than unhyphenated .orgs. Which kinda goes against the grain of the advice given in this thread. Which is why I was confused. Hence the question. These were not domains which would naturally look better on an .org domain.

try first .net if not available go for .org if the name requires a group effort or some good causes.
but i don't mind a hypen on second thought on a .com it means "space"
