Share some of your reasons for using specific top-level domains like .com or .tv and why you chose to use them or not. Are there TLDs that you would never use? Why or why not? Share Your Thoughts

.com It's Cheap or it is Common

I think .com is the best for choosing for domain we should go for only .com, because it is unique and every one type that address only. i am the author of a blog websitextreme.blogspot.com i am willing to change the domain what should i take, ex:- .com, .net, .org, etc

TLDs

I used .com before and now for e-commerce domains.
—Guest Pedro

I recommend .info

When .com is not available I skip over .net and push for .info. Isn't that what their site is supposed to provide? .biz & .tv may be right for some products but they sound a little cheezy...

TLDs I Use

I normally use .com only if the web site is for a business, or if the client specifically requests it. If the web site is for an organization, then I use .org. Both of my personal web sites are .org. My resellers domain is .net for obvious reasons.

What about the .TEL domain names

Is the new .TEL domain name a TDL? I know that it is basically an information page, but it can point to webpages and other sites? Thanks!

I think 2 are enough...

I think 2 are enogh for a beginner. You may use .com, .net etc. or any ''official'' TLDs and - second - country's extension. Example: you may use .fr if your company is / you are from France and .com, as an official international extension.
