which one i should prefer?

.co or .com?

any suggestions?

**SiberForum** · 07-28-2010, 05:54 AM

If you have anough money for both - go with both of them.

**webcreationuk** · 07-28-2010, 06:13 AM

That .co seems to me a waste of time, but as SiberForum said, if you have money to spend buy both of them.

COM. If your web site do not have any link to the Columbia- go only for .COM domain name.

The NEW ...CO is not Columbia.....

**SiberForum** · 07-30-2010, 02:01 AM

Perhaps typo. Not Colubmia
But Colombia instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.CO

I beg your pardon...
But .CO is a NEW domain TLD....
Wikipedia is not always up to date....

Godaddy is domain name registrar. It is not regulator.

**Jim Gillum** · 07-30-2010, 02:40 AM

And I know what godaddy is....

And if you really want some answers...do some research.....it is easy...

Canadian and US English is not that different...

.co domain is good, According to some popular sources, Google will treat .CO domain as international domain. Btw, i purchased a .co domain too. its called techblogger.co
Goodluck

I prefer .com domain names, although I heard that .co domains are good as .com domains.

But, .com domain names are more known, so that's why I prefer it.

Also, the best reason to choose a .co domain name is if your domain name for .com is already taken, you can purchase the .co domain,

**mr_yoda** · 07-31-2010, 03:42 PM

Even .net and .org lose traffic to .com. .COM is THE Internet.

**MHarrison** · 07-31-2010, 04:31 PM

.COM is the best choice really, Fairly priced and it's normally what people will put after thinking; "Oh what was that search engine, I remember the name - Yahoo I'll try Yahoo.com"

So all in all go with .com

**mikejoel** · 08-03-2010, 03:52 AM

.com would be best choice. go for .com

**weblover50** · 08-05-2010, 11:40 AM

Make .com your first choice but if you are getting a good keyword rich domain then .co would be good as well.

**Rexl** · 08-07-2010, 01:01 AM

.com, it's easier for your return visitors to remember.
