Which looks better: .org or .net?

Mister Frog · Aug 26, 2022

I own the .ORG and the .NET of an exact match domain. Unfortunately the .COM was taken, however it is not in use. So I plan to make one of them my main domain and simply redirect the other to it.

Do you think I should use the .ORG or the .NET tld as the primary domain? SEO wise, I realize it doesn't make a difference, so I don't need that advice. I'm just wondering which looks better.

If I would have to pick, I would go for .net just because it's the next best thing. .org is more corporate oriented rather than a blog/website

I know it wasn't one of the options, but if I can't get the .com, I usually go for .co

.net is always 2nd to .com for me.

What kind of website it is? If it's a portfolio website, or a website where I would sell products and services, I would chose .net. If it's an affiliate website, with science content (for example), I would pick the .org.

It's an affiliate website.

A domain name with a .co extension doesn't look spammy?

This. Sucks how hard it is to get the .com you want and not pay out the ass or have it get jacked by GD or something.

.org sounds like organization (and is for that).

Good. As I said, if you have informational guides (sleep remedy, how to train your dog to x thing, how to learn to drive a train, whatever), I would pick the .org.The .net is not wrong, but I would use it for other kind of website.
Cheers!

If I was you I would pick .net

.Net for sure

It does when you're into IM, I don't think most people agree, though.

I use .org for information based affiliate sites, something like Driving Advice or Space Quest etc. I use .net whenever I cannot get the .com for everything else. I never use .co, it does look spammy.

Not exactly spammy, but many times people do the mistake of typing 'm' behind it unknowingly and end up with error.

I believe, in your case you can go safely with .net.

.org sounds like an organization is selling affiliate products under it will not be that great idea, especially if you have .net in hand!

I prefer .Net

Matta28 · Aug 26, 2022

I would go for .net

What does the .co stand for?

Yeah to me it does, but O.co is a huge company and they use it... I would rather have a .net, .co is on the same level as .info to me lol

Hands down a .com for an affiliate site. Play with some domain name generator and you will find something better than a exact match.
