 Re: how important is it to have .com
I always think of .com first when I think of a business's website. It's an automatic thought for me, but am getting more and more used to .net as a common alternative, and am getting the hang of remembering who's a .com or .net bc it's getting that much more common in my world.
I heard the .org is available for businesses, but I still think of "helpful organizations" and not commercial business when I hear the .org. Maybe that is bc when I first saw .orgs, it is sites like RedCross.org, or the American Lung Assoc - lungusa.org. Our local hospitals are .org.
I guess in time, my perception of that will change as well, as I see the .org's out there more... especially if businesses buy the .com, .net, and .org.
I only have the .com, but can see how having the .net and .org can close the loop and keep your "name" yours, without someone else registering your name in a .net or .org version, and creating confusion for the customers. |
