Thread: Which Domains?

When buying a domain, do you think its a good idea to buy the whole lot eg .net and .org as well?

When I buy most of the time I get the .net as well. Do you think its worth it or just a waste of money? Can you make more money on selling as a package?

For my pet site I have the .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz however would not do it with all my others. It really depends on the site and what you plan to do with it in the future (obviously I have big plans for pb )

Well if you think that the .com will be famous then there is no problem in getting other TLD's... But if you go on just keep parking them..well they will be of no use..!

If you are buying a domain for your own brand and you want to protect that brand it might help to have the .net and .org.

However, if you are buying domains to resell, most of the time it really won't add much value to have the .net and .org. Most domain investors don't care about having all three.

I have been buying the .net as for some reason a lot of people have been using .net instead of .com, dont know why but they do. Im not doing any reselling of names at all.

I was more interested in what people thought and see if I am wasting my time and money.

None are parked, they are all pointing to the site that has the .com I guess its to cover myself if they type in the wrong one.

Only if it is brandable and has value....dont do it for every domain...

Thank you, great advice from all of you. Really appreciated, as a bit of a newbie I just go in and buy.

i buyed only .com and .net for my "brand" the rest have no power ...

The rest have no power???

.co.uk is more used than .com in the UK??

its the same as in Aust the .au is really popular here as well. I never use the .au as I want to have 'international' sites and not ones just for aussies, thats the way I look at it.

I usually do it when i am serious about any site and looking to maintain it for long.

depends on the site really but most of the time.com only for me.

Naw, why bother? I'll just put the domain name in my logo and be good to go.

DeadlyClever.COM!
DiligentDesign.NET

Supersophomore is kinda unique, I think I'll be chill on that one.
