I regret using firstnamelastname.dev as my main personal account
It’s uncommon, and causes confusion if I have to dictate it out over the phone. You have to optimize for the non-technical people scheduling appointments that don’t realize there are options other than .com
I’ve started the process of migrating over to a .com with my middle initial added, and it’s so much easier knowing that everyone will understand the TLD. I imagine .net would be similar.
- johnea 2y agoI've been self hosting a .net email domain for decades. I don't really have the problem you're describing. Depending on the recipient, I do sometimes reitterate the .net TLD, but that's it. I would say a more significant issue would be having a custom domain name that's too long, as this increases the liklyhood that it will be misspelled.
- muzani 2y ago.com, .net and .org are common TLDs, along with country ones
- tacticalturtle 2y agoMaybe my last paragraph was worded poorly - but I was trying to say that .net would also be fine. .dev is absolutely a problem for non-technical people
