which one - .co.uk .com .net .org ????

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?

Pudd is on the right pathPudd is on the right pathPudd is on the right path
.org is a non-profit making organisation, so you don't want that!

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.

A BIG THANKS!

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!

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

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