TLD advice for company website

[blueridge]

All,

I am starting a business that is called *****Works (one word, ten letters). .com and .net are unavailable. I own .org, .biz, .us, .co and .info. Which will likely be easiest to use for email or a web URL? I am concerned that using any TLD except .com will be confusing for people sending email, etc. Any thoughts?

If .com is not an option, .org is your next best. You still might want to consider an alternative in .com. I really wouldn't want to develop a real-world business on anything but .com

this thread confuses me with your other appraisal thread

YES, very confusing referring your emails and your URL with anything other than a .com.

.com is the best

It really also depends on the business itself and where you are located. If you are in say for instance Germany and have a primarily German client base then a .de would be just as useful.
Although from your profile I assume you are American in which case some people also tend to go for a hyphonated name depending upon availability and any possible TM issues when the .com is not available. You could also look at names based around the product(s) you intend to market.

Good luck with your new venture!
