How important is it to have the .com name, is there any research available on this topic? I known that common sense says that mydomain.com is better than mydomain.cc, mydomain.io, mydomain.to or whatever, but is this really the case and how big are the differences? (For example how much more likely users remember a .com vs .io name)
- ovi256 15y ago<productname>.com is considered the most important domain name to have, the reasoning being that when people hear of product X, they'll go check X.com Dropbox started on getdropbox.com, but they found out lots of people reflexively typed dropbox.com and saw a squatted domain. So later, they bought dropbox.com I tend not to agree with this 100%, I think most people google the name of the product, instead of trying X.com directly.
- codesuela 15y agoalso .cc, .io, .co, .to, .me etc. don't rank as well in the Google SERPs, that's why it's important to have them
