 | View Full Version : Best TLD for US market perception phelps 05-03-2010, 09:29 PM Hi, In your opinion what is the best ccTLD for American market in terms of customer perception, .com, .net or .us? stub 05-03-2010, 11:02 PM Well .us is meant to be for America. But we all know .com is king in America. So my order would be .com, .us, .net gotlivechat 05-03-2010, 11:21 PM There's .COM, and then there's every other TLD. The problem with .com is the domain choices are slim for common terms. You'll have better luck with other TLDs if you want common short dictionary words. phelps 05-04-2010, 06:27 AM Well, that was just to confirm my toughts .com is really the MKT driver domain inside borders of America and .us/.net would not beat it in therms of appeal considering the same name ... Thank you so far. allin1 05-04-2010, 09:09 AM I think you should use both .com and .us If you are on the Us Market. Mr cannibal 05-04-2010, 08:14 PM TLD 1 .com 2 .us 3. .net :D resellercamp 05-04-2010, 10:57 PM I would suggest .com to be in the first rank then .us and .net CanSpace 05-05-2010, 01:47 AM I think everyone would agree the answer is .com .net and then .us. The real problem is registering the .net or .us when someone else already has the .com and is using it for something similar to you.. SiberForum 05-05-2010, 04:49 AM .COM .NET (if you have online business) .BIZ That is my ranking. As rule good names in COM are taken that's why it is recommended to use NET domain names. Techno 05-05-2010, 09:49 AM In an earlier post you said you were based in Brazil. Unless you are a US resident or citizen you will not qualify for a .us. http://www.nic.us/policies/docs/ustld_nexus_requirements.pdf Vasily Grodnenko 05-05-2010, 10:10 AM For US market I consider .com and .us domain extensions to be the best here... Try to search for more information about these extensions in Wikipedia. phelps 05-07-2010, 10:55 PM Hi All, Thanks for the answers, this is a good perception share exercise and it seems that we all agree at .com, I just would like to confirm my thoughts as I am doing now. Yes I am based in Brazil and have seen the statements earlier but I wanted to aproach this issue here generically and not for my specific case, despite one of my options is to open a legal company in US. All the best! websitedesign 05-10-2010, 09:59 AM .com is and always will be king .net or .org second .us is nowhere to be found - stay away BlaZeX 05-10-2010, 10:17 AM .com :D Looks as if you are the pioneer of the domain :p jamjam 05-10-2010, 02:58 PM Nothing beats .com webics 05-13-2010, 03:11 AM Google favors .com |
