.net or .us - cast your vote!

spietreser · Oct 29, 2003

I'm researching if .US has gained more value then .NET domains.

Some questions:

1. Does the value depend on the type of domain. Will technology, or financial domains be worth more in .net or in the .us extension?

2. Will one be worth more than the other extension in the future?

It would be interesting to know your opinions!

this might have been better in a poll, but I cannot start a poll (anymore) so please reply with your vote and maybe an explanation

.net is overall better imo.

But in some uses, .us is better : )

darrenl · Oct 29, 2003

.US is better. Look at how big sales are getting.

Steen · Oct 29, 2003

You say it with such confidence :-D

Yet you wanted to script namecheap and "ping" domains, so you could beat out snapnames

That was just an out of mind idea. I suggest if you cant take an opinion of which he asked you dont post at all.

.net is 3x ++++ better that .us

.net easily!

.US will become popular in a couple months. Already most of the one worders are taken. :goofy:

.us is the way to go.

.us! All the people who are saying .net dont live in the US

Theres other extensions besides .com???!!!

Yuk, yuk.

OK. Easy one. .Net... just ask Microsoft. ;-)

That said, .us has it's place; however, I think .tv get's far more exposure.

.tv?! .tv isnt even taken in all one words!

Agreed; however, from an acceptance standpoint, .tv is beating even .net & .us in the retail space hands down here in the us.

Don't believe me. Stay up late and watch some infomercials.

... and BTW, the pills they sold me to add inches to my manliness don't seem to be working... (j/k)

Geez, I need to get a life.

NET is obviously better wether you are in the US or not...
Unless it is something very specific of course.

Steen · Oct 30, 2003

.net definatly imo.

@ Daren: "most of the one worders are already taken"

I am not aware of any nice one word availible in .net

spietreser · Oct 31, 2003

Hehe, so the score is now:

.net : 5
.us : 4

Anyone else?

DotLeader · Oct 31, 2003

just want to say

probably 70%+ of all .us domains are most likly owned by resellers/domainers

in the .net very little most are developed sites

its like saying is .com better than .biz ?
ps: mole dont answer that

Well seeing where NET has been out for 10 plus years and >US only out for 16months net does have a little head start if the question even has to be asked then NET has some problems:-D
