Why secure my domain name in the .com Top-Level Domains (TLD) versus other Top-Level Domains?
The generic Top-Level Domain .com is the Park Avenue of Internet real estate. It is the most recognized “location” for e-commerce in the world. There are numerous other generic TLDs including the popular .net and .org. Though not as well known as .com, ownership of all three of these TLDs for one particular domain provides you protection from someone trying to register your domain name with a different TLD. Besides the various generic TLDs, there are also country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), like .uk., .fr, .de, etc., that can give your presence in the various countries that they represent. Both generic and country-code TLDs provide a domain name with exposure to various specific Internet marketplaces. Currently, however, .com remains the best-recognized address to have worldwide.
