Why .com not .co ?

[bookname]

Me and my friend argue about domain TLD, I say .com better than .co, How do you think?

 

[Daniel Owens]

For the same term, .COM is obviously better than for a large number of reasons. Anyone arguing against that doesn't have a clue.

I am super curious your position. Can you list some of the reasons why you believe the longer extension .com is always better then .co?
Educate us, please?

 

[Daniel Owens]

Every ccTLD is shorter than .COM. You could make the same case for .ws or .cc or whatever other extension you want.

1.) More established.
2.) More usage.
3.) More demand.
4.) More value.
5.) Lower carrying cost.

Alright, I am bored listing reasons but there are many more.

Interesting perspective but 95% of domainers would rather own something such as pet.co or ta.co then pet.com or taco.com

OP asked "..., we compare apple to apple, example mydomain.com with mydomain.co"

As I said,

In this instance, dot com always, no argument!

But what if the .com is taken. As an investor, can i expect .co might get sale?

 

[PatrickV]

.com is KING

I will go with .org if .com is not available!

 

[Jimmysun]

Because when I address xxx.co will accidentally type xxx.com.

 

[Meadows]

.com is king

Many here like .com than .co

 

[bojan1]

.com is out of this world
