which is best domain extension to have.

[Terracotta]

It is good to have all domain extension for a domain name if possible that would best standardize and preserve your brand. But it is hardly possible these days as most of them are already registered. But the best choice would be .com

[thoran]

well the best domain extension to have is .com as this is the best every one wil be prefering and it's more popular extension to have.

.com Domains are not just popular but they are like the oldest and the most sought Domain Name extension... Everybody relates a website to a .com extensions, i know many guys out der who dont even know abt the existence of other extensions...

Definitely you have to look for a dotcom. But, if your name is not available and you are not willing to pay thousands for it, you could go to .net, which is pretty good. Or try a domain hack

[fras3rf3r]

you shouldn't really be suggesting a Domain Hack so openly... ;-)

Anyways, the problem, as I said earlier is that internet/Domains have become synonymous to a .Com Domain... Although, I agree that .net comes close to .coms, but i would suggest that if not .com, anyone could go for a ccTLD of his/her country... Like .uk, .us, .in, etc.. As far as I know, .US and .In are on promos... Click Here

Just to add a lil more info about my last post... I have heard seculations about .In Domain Names coming up for promo pricings... .In being used as a vanity for India, Internet, Information, etc... These can be good enuf..

Of course .com extensions are the "best". But .net,.org,.info, and .me are decent extensions. But, .com is king.

[fras3rf3r]

Totally agreed..... .com takes the cake, i guess by now the .com registry is saturated by now... i wonder how many names are available??

[sxperm]

.com is the best for SEO purposes and is suitable for most types of websites... .net is also good.. .info is not very professional...stay away from strange .me, .mobi, .tv because people won't remember them well.... .com sticks well in people's mind and they enter it first if they can't remember the domain well...get a catchy and short .com domain and gooooo

I agree with everybody else here - .com is definately the way to go. Some of the other extensions may be suitable to your needs, but .com is king! Or, you can buy all the extensions
