Hey, im still making this top secret site, and luckily all domains for this secret site are available. What domain would you suggest is better ...

.com
.co.uk
.net
.org

I have to let out a small secret in order for you all to be able to answer, i am making a site that will rival www.pctechbytes.com and will be better, with tutorials, forums, product reviews, reccommendations and so on.

Which one?,all or none?

.com is the best.

.org is a non-profit making organisation, so you don't want that!

I would get .com and .net.

UKZJ007 · #5 (**permalink**) 10-22-2003, 06:50 AM

Yeah well said, i forgot about .org. lol

And also yes im going for .com. Thanks admins for replying and helping .... and pudd!

Now its a battle between .co.uk and .net, or both or none!

I would get .com, .co.uk is too long for people outside the UK to even remember and many people would end up typing .com out of being used to it anyway.

What you on about pudd ... i did mention ur name!

Its either your eyes ..... or i might have edited it! ;-)

UKZJ007 · #9 (**permalink**) 10-22-2003, 07:11 AM

Yeah, im going for .com

The only worry is if my site does well, will people go and buy .co.uk and .net and spoof it?!

edbarton · #10 (**permalink**) 10-22-2003, 11:37 AM

Yeah they probably will but if your site does well you should be able to afford them

UKZJ007 · #11 (**permalink**) 10-23-2003, 01:51 AM

Right now is the right time to reveal i have bought the .com and the .co.uk domain..........

And i owe it all to you guys. Thanks so much for the advice and guidance, i guess i can reveal my "secret" plan now.

I have bought www.pc-clever.com and www.pc-clever.co.uk ... and i might buy other domains later if the site does well. Basically the site will rival www.pctechbytes.com but i am starting it small then i am going to conquer the world. If anyone has any tips on what i can include i will be more then Happy to welcome your suggestions ........ I NEED REVIEWERS for software, games, hardware, computers and anti-virus software ... it would be greatly appreciated!

The website will be about games and computers. It will be based mainly on product reviews, and tutorials on software. With online games, forums and hopefully introducing new things from the advice i will get from you guys ...

The best decision of my internet life so far has been signing up with this forum, its been so helpful to me. Thanks alot you guys .. keep the replies coming!

It took me about 2 months though for me to get you to do it

UKZJ007 · #13 (**permalink**) 10-24-2003, 07:36 AM

yeah, i was very skeptical and wasn't sure about this stuff

But u helped me do it, thanks. Check out my new holder page www.pc-clever.com

Looks frontpage-ish. You should put "Coming Soon" under the name.

I use both com and co.uk domains. It is much better to use co.uk extension if operate on the UK market.

"Check out my new holder page www.pc-clever.com"
looks nice

edbarton · #18 (**permalink**) 10-30-2003, 02:08 PM

ha, I sort of made that one

It is now changed a bit

I just made the image smaller and added a bit of text really, but it does the trick

The site is coming soon........

LazyJim · #19 (**permalink**) 10-30-2003, 02:11 PM

Here's my coming soon page:
www.digilicious.co.uk
Not sure if i'm sticking with those graphics or not, and not sure how soon 'soon' will be!

edbarton · #20 (**permalink**) 10-30-2003, 02:13 PM
