Hi All,
Being a property based web forum I thought you guys would be a perfect sounding board for my web address dilemma.
I am just about to launch a new property service based website but have a bit of a dilemma re which domain to choose and would love to hear everyones thoughts and preferences.
I have registered numerous domains, however annoyingly the best and catchiest variation is only a .net.au address. I have the .com.au variation on backorder which is inactive and due to expire with the existing holder soon, however this could take months due to the laborious renewals process and there are of course no guarantees i'll get it.
The other alternative is my business name then .com.au, which is perfectly reasonable however it isn't nearly as catchy or self descriptive, but on the plus side I also own the .net.au variation and in negotiations for the .com, so will be future proofed from competitors.
I know this must sound very wishy washy because I can't provide specifics in case some opportunist alerts the holder of my preferred domain and holds me to ransom, but just wanted to get your thoughts on the whole .net.au vs .com.au?
Hope this makes sense
