Preferred Domain Extension for Your Business Website

[nomad]

Do you have a business website, what domain extension do you use for your business website? MY preference for a domain extension for a business website is always dot com that because it is easily recognizable and people trust these domains more than anything else. However, it is really difficult to get the domain name of your choice with dot com, therefore, I use other extensions like dot net or even dot store, dot online, etc.

For business I still consider .com as best domain. Even depends on niche we have .store for selling online stores. Also many crypto related domains as .io or lately .ai become very popular.

I do not have a business website yet. If i ever consider owning a website, i think my preferred domain extension would be dot com because of how popular it is.

The preferred domain extension depends on your business and audience. Most US businesses opt for .com to convey credibility; managed by ICANN. However, consider region-specific gTLDs like .nyc or .london for hyperlocal brands. Industry verticals like .health or .finance work too. Just be sure extension matches business scope. Avoid over-niched or less intuitive ones that hamper marketing and recall.

I'm a traditionalist. I rock .com/.net/.org whenever possible. My preference would certainly be .com, but often times I find myself settling for the .net. Because of this, I'd say I've got more .net domains than anything else.

This is because most of other domains like xyz are related to not reputable sites or scam PTC ventures or some scam mining programs so this is why people avoid having an xyz domain name.

I sincerely hope you aren’t using the domain extension to determine what is a scam and what isn’t. Illegitimate sites running TLDs will no doubt burn you as well.

What if the name you want for your business is not available for your preferred domain extension? Would you comprise your name or would you go after other extension? For me, going for other extension is better than compromising the name

Sometimes name is available however it is premium domain name means for a lot of dollars included on that name that would be not feasible for low budget admins.
