Ask HN: .net vs .co, Which TLD would you choose?

Posted by jpdelatorre on Monday October 14, 2013 @10:28PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Assuming .com is taken, which is usually the case. Which would you choose for your company/project/app/startup? .net or .co?

Other than looking around for others (country TLDs like .io) which might fit your market or product I would personally go with the .net. Depending upon your market I would imagine you'd see a lot of traffic intended for your site to go to the .com simply due to confusion.

I think .io appeals only to techie/developer market

Very much so. That was only for referencing that group of domains--not specifically .io but the other country TLDs.

Worth a look.
