Domain name TLD - which do you think is best?

[Untouchable1]

bloody cyber squatters.

I can get the .com for $795....

I'd see what was available before getting all excited about the preferred format.

If you'd read the OP you'd have seen that s/he has checked what's available and their preferred format is gone, hence the query as to which is best out of the available formats.

. Com and no hyphen. Doesn't need to be your name, just something memorable and if you are any good in your field and your site is worth visiting then in time people will know it is you.

Hi All,

I'm building myself a website which will host my consulting blog/about me/services/contact me etc.

I want to use my first name and second name, but unfortunately the .com has been taken.

Keen to get people's views on the following domain name ideas:

firstname-secondname.com
firstname-secondname.co.uk

firstnamesecondname.co

firstnamesecondname.company
firstnamesecondname.international

I've added a poll so please vote on the one that you think is best!

Thanks in advance!

Why stop there? Look at this load of tulip.

How about .party AND .rehab?

I already have a company website which I'm happy with, but I want to go down the 'consultant/expert' path and feel that a website dedicated to me as a consultant would help my narcissistic self promotion efforts...

Thanks,

Create a blog as part of your company website. Doesn't even have to link to the main site immediately until you've figured out how you want to.

I'd avoid any domain with a hyphen in it to be honest. Just doesn't roll off the tongue.

Why not put the focus and effort in from the company, make the company the expert and reap the rewards that come from that, I blog, through the company website, linked to my personal linkedin/twitter as well as the companies social media presence

"content to be added later"

I have

www.mycompanyname.com/engagements

And a list of Clients and a sentence or two on what we did for them, make it about what you are selling, not who is selling it

[PurpleGorilla]

Out of curiosity, is this for your MyCo or a personal venture, if for MyCo are you sure you want it to scream one man band?

or

I would get as many as you can afford, even if you only use one (either a .com or a .co.uk) as the primary.
