I would like to 'ask the audience' about what they would choose as a domain extension, given that .co.uk and .com are already taken for my business name - specifically, would myco.biz sound/look/feel better than myco.net ?

A different domain name! All the other b-wise extensions are hideously naff!
.org isn't too bad I supposeComment

Change company name to one that matches an advialible domain!!!
As said above the .biz and all the rest are "naff" and probably will remain so for a long long time
Try abriviations or even adding to the domain name to "match" it to the company name, mycompany.com might be taken but mycompanyltd.com or mycompanylimited.com might not be

A simple lesson learner: get the domain sorted before you set up the company, then you can chose a company name to fit the domain, much easier than the other way round.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Agreed about the lesson, but the website supplements the business, not the other way round, so I guess I have to put up with the least naff, and I'll probably register as many as I can, although .org smells of charity work and I don't want anyone thinking that.Comment

Suppose I could offer to sell them the domain....Comment

I registered a .co.uk and .com about 10 years ago, and always thought that if one day I had my own company that would be the name I'd use. And now I have. Someone else has nabbed the .org, but that doesn't matter. If you want to sell UK only, then .co.uk is good, and if you want to sell internationally .com is the one to have, but everything else is a bit of a waste of time IMO.
I guess I always hoped somebody would come forward and want to pay me a million pounds for it, but it's never happened.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
