Hi everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on a specific question. I’ve been noticing more and more domain extensions with .io lately.

Is there any real advantage to buying a domain with this type of extension? Or is it better to stick with the more traditional ones like .com, .fr, or .net?

There are no good COMs for sale. Corporates have left us with very little options. You can't find a good one word dot-com even with a good budget today. Investing in .io is honestly, its your call.. Every year, there's a new trend.. Of late, it was .si. Do it if you are willing to spend bucks, and take risk.

.io is great for tech-focused brands, but .com is still king for trust and recognition. Choose based on your audience and goals.

If you're planning to be a global brand in the long term, .com is your best best. Since .com has a long history from 90's onwards, majority of the .com's are taken and you'll find them available on aftermarket domain marketplaces like ours and many others.

.fr, aka ccTLD's if you're business is country based.

.io is popular among SaaS software providers (due to Google registering .io for their developer conference and took on from there) and still there may be some decent / one word names available for registration.
