Is it better to purchase a dot com domain name or can you get by with any of the other extensions.

Search Engines will tell you that they are not bothered which extension you have at the end of your domain name and you’ll probably find that the name you require is available in one of the other extensions, all bar .com, but unless you have a good reason to pick another type of extension, stick to .com.

.com is the most well know extension and the most credible, also not everyone believes that the search engines are telling the truth when they say it doesn’t matter. .info has a reputation of being cheap and associated with template and spam sites, if you use a .info extension then you’ve probably put your site within a poor crowd of websites.

Do some research on the search engines and you’ll see that .com is king, you may save money using a alternative extension, but you may harm you sites search engine ranking.

If you’re going to build a website, stick to .coms.
