Dave Walk It's seems like every .com domain name is taken so moving on to other TLDs. Wonder if .ly or .io is less confusing to the general public.

Eric Be careful when buying. A lot of country code TLDs don't allow WhoIs privacy.

Simon Janes Depending on your context, a .bit domain ( bit.namecoin.info/... ) may be useful for preventing trade-name hijacking between nation-states. But this is definitely not something that's universally easy for users. Special interest groups only, not general purpose name resolution.

Aabbaabbaa The general public are confused by domains anyway, as long as Google finds you it doesn't matter so much.

🏒 Lucian Marin .net is the second best TLD. Big names like Behance or Daring Fireball redirects .com to .net domain. Also, the usage statistics proves this is the case. keepalert.com/Doma...
