.com is the standard.
.net is fine, just make sure to brand and market yourself well. for example, don't refer to yourself in promo materials as "mystartup" -- use "mystartup.net".
i can think of quite a few successful .net companies. the .net won't preclude your success. a .com name will just act as a crutch for the mainstream audience if you want to tap that market.
- maxklein 18y agoMost .net companies have something to do with a network, no?
- noodle 18y agosome, yes. that was the intent of the domain name. but that would be like saying that all the .tv domains are sites based in tuvalu.
- trickjarrett 18y agoThat is how it used to be but it isn't any longer. .Net is now the go to for any commercial company who can't get the .com -- I think most people are okay with it but if the branding doesn't strongly include .net then the .com will get a lot of the traffic.
