There’s a big difference between .com, .org and .biz. Which one to choose...


If you’ve ever had to choose a domain name – chances are .com was already taken. 

It’s by far the most popular extension. So what’s the next best choice? GoDaddy has this advice. Choose the suffix that best suits your site. While there is no real regulation governing how they’re used, these are the unwritten rules:

• .co : an abbreviation for company, commerce, and community

• .info : informational sites

• .net : technical, Internet infrastructure sites

• .org : non-commercial organizations and non-profits

• .biz : business or commercial use, like ecommerce sites

• .me : blogs, resumes or personal sites

If .com is available – by all means, grab it. A lot of browsers default to the site or search name followed by .com. - .org and .net are the next most trusted. Keep in mind that newer, lesser known extensions like .expert, .guru and .club tend to be less trusted than the big three, because spammers are known to lurk on them.
