When choosing a domain name do you think .com is best or .org or what?

All of mine are .com because I think they are easier to remember for others.

What do you think?

Usually your .xxx represents what you are.
. org, is usually taken by businesses, .edu, are schools, .info, is for informational websites. and so on and so on.
Eventually in 2009, you will be able to have a . anything, for instance .raydene.
Hope this helps

Actually, .org is meant for non-profit sites or non-Governmental organisations. It's not meant for businesses, because that's what the .com is for, but .org means organisations, normally charitable ones.

If the site's for profit it should not be using .org

You're right about the .info one though.

Hi Raydene, how are you doing? I sure did miss your posts while I was gone! I think .com is the norm so it's the easiest to remember. although .org is gaining popularity now...Lori

Domain suffixes denote specific fields. A ".com" suffix would identify a domain that's commercial in nature, for instance, while a ".org" suffix is used for websites that are run by an organization or a specific advocacy. Universities, schools and other learning institutions use the domain suffix of ".edu", while websites that are from a specific country carry a suffix that identifies such country - ".ph" for Philippines or ".es" for Spain, for instance. ".net" is for networks, ".biz" denotes business.

The main reason for this is to lessen confusion and make the web more organized.

.com is by far the easiest ones to remember, but I am also interested in domain names that denote location such as .dk, .ca, .usa, etc. It's interesing to look at a country code after he dot, and try and figure out where in the world the people are.

.COM is the most widespread if you're selling something. .ORG is meant for organizations like churches.

Hi raydene! I agree with you completely my dear. I think I prefer dot com over dot org. I think dot com is easier to remember and I have been used to seeing dot com more over dot org.
Take care and God Bless!

I must admit that dot.com rolls off the lips very easily, so that would be my personal choice. I think it's the most popular one anyway.

Then again Mom there is co.uk that is what we tend to use in the UK! I don't know which I would choose as I think all 3 are quite easily remembered! I think there should be a .smile or .happy - but then again I do live in a world all of my own sometimes! Hugs xxx
