.net or.co.uk?

[upickitout]

I am newer at this and I was wondering what would be a smarter investment. I have an idea for a name to buy. The .com is gone, but I can get either the .net or the .co.uk....

which is better?

tbh I think .net is likeable to a four legged creature with a fluffy tail, that likes to say woof alot

Well its .uk forum

Depends your market, if it's the UK then the .co.uk would be better, if it's worldwide or USA then the .net could be a good option.

LOL spot on Aqua...

uk DN's are gathering pace as an alternative to the ones everyone else already has! thus value increasing...

to give you an idea on values etc try...

www.domainprices.co.uk - for UK ccTLD

www.dnjournal.com - for other TLD e.g .net .com etc

also a lot of new domainers use this rough guide for help...

www.3character.com

plus you can search the many thousands of posts in Acorn and cut a lot of heartache our of buying / investing in the wrong .DOT!

.co.uk is def on the up so good investments... mid-long term

If the site is UK based have the site as the .co.uk and then simply have the .net directed to the .co.uk

Mares well take it when its reg fee...
