domain names

Grab a dot com domain name over all other TLD's if it's available. There's a lot of hype regarding the value of some other TLD's. Some will argue that because the availability of good dot com names is supposedly dwindling, its time to start registering what's available for other TLD's. Dot com was the first universally recognizable TLD. It kinda has the name recognition and branding popularity of Q-tips and Kleenex. It's almost assumed that if you've got a website, it's a dot com. The supposed increase in popularity of other TLD's might be the self fulfilling prophecy of cyber squatters intent on grabbing "the next big thing" on the cheap.

Reselling expired dot com domain names at "through the roof" prices is pretty much over except in some rare instances, but until you start to see other expiring TLD's besides .com and .net up for sale or on domain name auction sites, the laws of supply and demand will prevail. Dot com domain name if you can, dot net domain name if you can't.
