I don't know it has become out of fashion these days but as an Internet veteran-ish (started Internet journey late in the 90s), I believe one should get a .com domain. This is especially true when you are going to run a business and grow it.

Get a .com domain, preferably no-hyphen, and no_underscore.

If you have something like mydomainis.cool, then try to get mydomainiscool.com too. You can redirect mydomainiscool.com to mydomainis.cool.

As someone who started using the Internet in the early 90s, I still unconsciously rate .net, .com, and .org (as well as some associated ccTLDs) as more reputable than all the other .randomletters domains that seem to show up in search results these days; probably because the majority of sites I see in the latter are SEO spam.

Following your rules, in 2022, you're just left with made up words for .com domains.

.com is a US TLD, for better or for worse. US got the original "cool" TLD names.
