I know this is basic domains 101 but please list your opinions.
 
It really depends on the name itself. Some words better go with .org, but I have to say that .net has long been overrated, probably because most earlier domain registrants are working in computer related fields.
 
How about a travel services website, which extension works best.

.net ;

.org goes better/famous for nonprofit services in uk i.e.
 
Ok what looks better to you?

Travel.net
Travel.org

I'd love to have both. They are both about the same for me. It really all depends on the name itself.

Travel.net looks better. :ok:
 
1. .com
2. .net
3. .org

people generally dont rember the extn., so its best to go for a .com which may not be as good as the available .net domain..

By default people look for .com & you might lose some of youir traffic to the one who has the .com..
 
People I know mainly know .com then .org as a lot of gaming sites use .org
 
.orgs are favored much more over .net and more valuable surely
.net is the "b*stard child" and will lose alot of type-ins to .com where as the .org has it's own clear identity in almost everyones mind and recall ability...for development .com/.org
 
.net without a doubt. Anyone who believes otherwise, is swayed by their own holdings. However I will agree, in some instances the .org extension is more 'appropriate'. Still wouldn't say more 'valuable'.

.org owners for years have had delusions of grandeur when it comes to their names being compared to the .net counterpart.
 
You want to buy some .nets of mine :ok:
