Which extension for webservice ? Need your advise :)

diederik · Mar 3, 2004

For a webmaster tool I found a good keyword domain available with the following extensions :

.tv
.nu
.cc

( and a few others - but these 3 interest me most )
Any advise on which extension to pick ?

You have to understand that I can't list the keyword/name here since they are all unregistered, and don't want to see that it's been regged 3 minutes after I posted this thread

None ideal but in order for the purpose:

1) cc
2) tv
3) nu

Already regged the .cc by the way - not sure if that's the one I develop, so keep on with this thread

Glad I checked with my namechef (WWD reseller) account first for their .cc pricing - saved me 15 bucks

Simple... If your site is located in Tuvalu, use .tv. If it's in Niue, use .nu. If it's in the Cocos Islands, use .cc. If it's somewhere else, use the appropriate CCTLD for that place or a gTLD.

Thank you for your very useful reply

I've used ".nu" and tried the "NetUser" rationalization. I registered Wiz.nu for that purpose. If you're not choosing COMNETORGINFO, then I don't think the extension choice *really* matters in your case.

Yea NameChef :cheesy:

It's a good name and I think cc is the best ext out of the 3. the c's match up well.

Good luck with it

Yeah... you saved me some bucks !

Btw : I assume namechef.com is regged with you - can't you forward the domain to your WWD account ?

I need to look up that stupid URL everytime now

I decided to pick the .cc - thanks guys !
