Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the various domain names that are available and what the consequences of opting for one over the other might be. Are the main differences just purely in what people's perceptions of your site might be depending on what domain you choose?
I've had an idea for a website that I'm considering. It would mainly be an information service. There would be a forum for people to chat and share info etc but also articles and other information on the subject matter. I had a quick look on godaddy.com to see if the name I was thinking of is still available. I didn't realise quite how much choice there is out there.
.com .ie .eu .info .biz .net
The .com I'm looking for would be available for $11 but the .info is only $0.89. I thought .info might be ok as the site would mainly be an information sharing website. But are there are other implications? e.g. search engine rankings etc? Or negative perceptions of the site? Are there any commercial implications? If the site were to become popular I'd consider seeking advertisers for the site.
Just wondering what the conventional wisdom is on this! Thanks a mill!
