.NET or not to .NET that is the question
 

So in this day and age can someone run a site that's a .NET and brand it successfully? Or would you be taking crazy pills to try?

I am going to give it a try! :thumbsup

depends on what type of a site you run and if you are marketing through word of mouth. if you are a tgp and your traffic comes from trades then you dont need anything more than a dot net.

What would you say if it was an affiliate program or an regular paysite?

unless its a good name, i wouldn't. but thats just me. i've never bought an adult.net. i got a couple non adult ones but i also own the .coms. no one is gonna type in .net or when they think of your site, will they remember its .net or just type in the .com?

CamContacts.net did a good job

free site? or paysite? any free site can be any domain name and do well. for a paysite i would predict .com only

until they got their domain taken away

better stick to .coms

the gambling sites advertise .net with good results

Personally, I've had good experience with .NET even though I was a Java guy for many years. The CLR has been stable and the C# is a breeze to write with a Java background. My only complaint is that you can't rely on the garbage-collection, even though not having to deal with memory management is one of the selling points of the managed code and all high level languages.

yes but i think they do this knowing that most people will type in the .com instead of the .net. check out the difference between the two. you'll see why they do this.

Crazy pills.

You will lose approx. 25% of your traffic to the .COM.

i surely wouldnt do it. if youre doing it for other reasons other than branding, then sure why not. i got my 115th domain yesterday, a .net one for 2.99 at registerfly. promo code netspecial

Yep, PartyPoker does a good job with this ...

The only reason to really register a .net in my opinion is if you are going to use it along side the .com.

i would go for .com if you can :)

Avoid the .net. You will never hear the end of it if you go with a .net over a .com

No one ever types "firstthingthatcomestomind.net"

tottaly off topic BUT needs to be said.

FISTS OF FURY BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!


HAHAHAHA

Dwreck got introd to fists of furry the other night.... he's a big fan!

I had in past few .net domains!

That's not funny dude. They're talking about domain names.

would you send traffic to a program with a .NET name?
