Also if you register both and the company will be of use in the US putting slightly different pages up at both with a cross link between looks pro and google will likey.

Domain purchase is so cheap you can put a redirect on your console I would consider a few more of the emerging ones just in case. Really depends on the name though. If you are buying www.scragmeisterswidgets.com then probably not worth buying the others to protect them.

What do people stick on their company websites? CV??? Rediredect to linkidin??

Looking to set up a simple website for the business.

But there are now a whole load of diff suffixes.

So much to choose from on the hosting front too!!

Any advice much appreciated.
